In your face with “in the eyes”
By Frédérique Renaut There are many ways of capturing facial expressions in an image. It seems that photographer Thibault Grabherr has found an interesting twist for the “in the eyes” project. Actresses are the masters of creating an emotion through facial expressions. Erase all the glamorous artefact: hair, heavy make up and focus on the [...]

The State of The Artist # 3
by Marvin Kanarek So what is this Muse? I won’t take the time to look it up right for fear that it will break the rhythm/flow that I’m feeling right now. I know it’s here guiding my thought and words. As I said, I will only write when it “visits”, otherwise my explanation will be [...]

One of My First VOGUE Covers
From “1985″… For VOGUE SA. Oh yeah..real film and not manipulated in Photoshop…Obviously, there was no Photoshop in 1985. Used Fujichrome 100 iso slide film and other neat stuff.
