Portraiture

Selected portraiture works, 2024 and ongoing.

The way I emphasise the characteristics of the people I portray is through the choice of lighting. I want to accentuate the interesting and the emotive, not a likeness. By adding color to my portraits, I bring out what was important to me. We shouldn't think of portraits so much as looking into the soul of another person. It's more about the baggage that I bring into the room and the baggage that the person portrayed brings into the room. And this meeting, this clash of two people, creates something completely new.
