Portraiture is a very mixed bag of tricks and causes one of the biggest artistic divides with
portrait photographers and
portrait artists, many of whom have their own personal take on
picture to portrait creative photography, some focussing on
self portrait photography,
portraits of people,
hdr portraits,
family portraits right the way through to
portraits of hands and
portraits of feet.
Many
artists portraits are drawn to a specific type or portraiture and will work their whole lives on
man portraits,
woman portraits and target portraits of their own material and enjoyment.
As a portrait artist I work closely with my models and subjects to capture what I see as their essence on film whilst at the same time bringing out the
incredible textures and details of their skin through methods such as
HDR (
High Dynamic Range) and heavily contrasted
black and white portraits which look great as a
canvas portrait.
There are many
innovative portrait artists out there who strive to break their portrait photography into the
national portrait gallery and other portrait
gallerys in London, my
online portraits are purely my own vision of the people I have had the pleasure to work with over the years and are often raw and gritty sometimes shot as
landscape portraits and occasionally self portraits where I have wished to experiment with something.
I love to
picture people as
silhouette portraits with a light cast behind them, the light being their personal background and their
scars and
skin texture their trodden path through life, much of my portrait photography will focus on these details being apparent and retouching is often discarded in favour of bringing out these detail as a focal point.
