Artist in studio

I like to visit the studios of painters and sculptors. It keeps me from getting too uppity about photography. Screw large format! You want to really impress someone? Create a decent painting.

"All I care about these days is painting. Photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

I really like the first one. It looks like the painting is a window behind him..with a big spooky tree outside. It takes on a whole different feel in #2, not bad but just very different.

#1 is for me. I was sort of thinking of Arnold Newman's portrait of Alfred Krupp (definitely going for spooky). #2 is for his promo pack.

What a great location for a shoot.
