Jeff Lubin, 68, in his photography studio in Fairfax, Va. Lubin left his position at the Library of Congress to risk going on his own and starting a photography business. Lubin, 68, is a former paralegal with the Library of Congress who became a multimillionaire after spending four decades building a brand as a portrait photographer. “Every so often,” he says, “people would stop me and say, ‘Oh what a beautiful portrait of a child.’” And he’d hand them a business card. The Lubin studio photographs and/or paints about 400 portraits a year. “I am one of the very few, high-end bricks-and-mortar studios left in the D.C. area specializing in portraits,” Lubin said.
