Submission for lensculture portrait awards 2020

These 5 portraits were chosen because, to me, the satisfy three critical elements of portraiture. First and foremost, the intended human emotion, i hope, does come through to the viewer. Second, the strong emotional charge is unaffected but instead aided by a strong attempt at geometric perfection and polished finishes. And third, in an era of millions of daily photographs and inspirational content, these portraits intend to represent grounded creativity that is both innovative and can stand the test of time.
