Few faces in American culture are as universally recognized and respected as LeVar Burton. From the historical gravity of Kunta Kinte in Roots to the intellectual warmth of Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and his decades as the host of Reading Rainbow, LeVar has shaped the cultural landscape for generations.Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing LeVar at my West Hollywood Studio. In a session lasting just over an hour, we moved beyond the familiar "host" persona to capture a portfolio of truly spontaneous, unique, and thought-provoking portraits.
