Portraits

[Erik van Straten]

@Erik van Straten - I agree with Pan; this is wonderful. Not only beautiful to look at, but it has an internal resonance that's very moving.

John

Thank you very much, John!

This is one of the most memorable portraits I've seen. The side light and her expression is beautiful.

What can I say ... thanks a lot!

Erik.

In my stupidly humble opinion, portraiture is nothing without emotional connection.

Portraits are only faces on wanted posters until some magic happens.

The eyes need to pierce your soul. The face needs to tell a story... pain, joy, agony/ecstasy... how am I going to pay the rent, I just cured cancer...

Sorry, sometimes I get carried away with myself.
