Jaime Alvarez has given us nearly a full year’s worth of the Artist’s I’ve Shot, but, like most things, it must come to an end. He’s coming off this by returning to the studio for some still lives, one of which is above, and continuing to post more work on his tumblr, jaimephoto.tumblr.com. Thanks for all the great work, Jaime – we loved every bit of the exposure you gave to some of your favorite artists!
