Studio Portraits

Stu­dio por­traits — in the beginning 

A selection of studio portraits — photographs — some of which later became paintings

Like many pho­tog­ra­phers, I opened a stu­dio, expect­ing to make my for­tune behind a cam­era. And like many pho­tog­ra­phers, I end­ed up shoot­ing a lot of wed­dings (not my favourite thing.)

But I kept com­ing back to fig­ure stud­ies and staged stu­dio por­traits, and many of those became the basis for my paint­ings.

I con­tin­ue to do pho­to shoots, but these days I focus main­ly on images that will make great paintings.
