Painterly photography portraits

Painterly portraits for film, tv productions and theatre.

I’ve always had a love for the work of painters like Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals. I find real joy in looking at how they all worked with the limited light available - from a candle or natural window light. Looking at each piece the light subtly wraps around the subject as the surrounding backdrop fades into darkness giving such a powerful mood to every painting. For me as a photographer creating painterly portraits has its challenges but applying a similar thought process to the portraits you can produce something not too shabby with help from modern day flash units and some post shoot processing.

If you would like to create something similar or your production needs something with texture and mood, please do drop me a line to discuss how in relatively small spaces this can be achieved.
