Architects and Designers Portraits

Over the last year I had the opportunity to portrait leading architects and designers in the United States. This is an ongoing project. So far, the series of portraits includes: Daniel Libeskind, Karim Rashid, Charles Renfro, Neil Denari, Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe, and Steffen Lehmann. With these portraits, in a studio or open environment, I aim for a rigid style of uniform picture making, using frontal images of the human subjects. I prefer a clinical austerity, as we can sometimes find in classical portrait painting, to capture the personality of the subject against a plain background.
