Holbein's Inspiration & Me: Crafting Timelessness in Portraiture

April 16, 2024 in Portraiture, New York, Los Angeles, London

In the realm of portrait photography, the past is not a shadow but a guiding light that shapes the essence of our modern vision. Hans Holbein the Younger, a luminary of the Northern Renaissance, remains a source of profound inspiration in my journey as a portraitist. His ability to capture the very soul of his subjects sets a standard that I aspire to in my studios across New York, London, and Los Angeles. Through the case studies of distinguished individuals, I aim to honor the legacy of Holbein, creating portraits that bridge the centuries between his time and ours.

Sir Patrick Stewart Portrait Sitting

I had assumed that only sheer luck or destiny would place Sir Patrick Stewart in front of my lens. Somewhat surprisingly though, after 24 years of dreaming about capturing his portrait, it was the sight of a vulgar, pink Hummer that inspired our meeting. The sitting would change my stars from a provincial photographer to an international portraitist working in London & Los Angeles.
