E ndless F aces J essica Wikström had been a photographer for almost eight years when she finally decided to sell all her gear, cancel her studio rental and give up on photography entirely. Having tried almost every genre of the craft from weddings to product photography and fashion, she never really felt at home in any niche. One day, a former colleague of hers called her and asked if she could shoot some portraits of him and his equally- bearded friends. She took it on as what she considered to be her last job before quitting—as long as she was able to do it her own way.
