From the beginning portaiture was my favourite genre in photography. Not just as a display of what people look like, but an opportunity to capture their habits, personality and what makes them unique individuals. Below is a collection of some of my favourite portrait images over the years. Most of the images in this gallery have been commissioned by a client and as such, they are not available for sale.
However, I still enjoy the challenges of creating meaningful portrait studies and from time to time will post a model call for a particular look, hobby, or occupation that I would enjoy photographing. You might therefore, like to follow my blog and social media pages should you be interested in becoming a subject of one if my portraits.
Your comments are always welcome.
Sisters
Part of a collection of sisters created for their mother. In storytelling it is not always necessary to have everyone in every image. Sometimes a stronger statement is made by incorporating one or more people as props or elements to further the story-line.
INTIMIDATING PRESENCE
Over the years II have enjoyed the opportunity of photographing my lifelong friend, Reid Spencer. Reid is a professor, an actor and very talented vocalist. On this occasion Reid was hoping to get a new head shot for his portfolio. So with natural light and a couple of reflectors set up on the balcony of his apartment we accomplished the perfect blend of a couple of artists collaborating in the creation of art. Reid's talent at controlling his facial expression to deliver a particular emotional message is something that will always amaze me.
