A Recent Portrait, Martin Schoeller Inspired

[Designer]

This is the thread that officially kills any credibility I gave this forum.

WHAT. the hell. is WRONG with Martin Schoeller's work? I HAVE to know, what you think is so terrible about it.

Please don't wait for my posts to agree with you in order to give this forum credibility. This forum is partly yours too.

As to why I don't think Martin Schoeller is a photographer for anyone to emulate; it is because his portraits are not intended to capture the subject's personality, but rather to promote himself as a courtier photographer. The technique leads to a very flat and boring portrait in spite of the fact that his subjects would not be thought of as boring by anyone who recognizes them.
