This guy takes portraiture to a whole new level. For me, straight head shot portraits have always been really hard because they always seem come out boring, but this guy adds so many new layers to his work, the whole thing almost seems cg, and i’m sure he adds tons of computer generated imagery that goes beyond just photoshop, which is something i have no idea how to do. But as you can see, each picture of his that this website provides can only be described as “intense”, which is great considering they are just headshots. And what i like is that some of these look like they could be movie stills, even when it comes down to the type of camera that he uses, it looks like a movie frame. There is a story going on, at least one the is going on in your head, when you look at them, which is something i’m sure he strived for, and is something that i would love to capture in my work, but my stuff is nowhere near as advanced as this stuff.
