Boston University recently profiled alumni Mitchell Garabedian, the lawyer who defended the victims of the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal in Boston. The goal, when making these photos, was to portray the subjects in a dark and mysterious way to coincide with the mood of the story. Photos of the lawyer, the Boston Globe reporter and a victim were taken for this submission.
