Portrait of an Artist – First Video Showcase – Mobile Portraiture

Welcome to our first Portrait of an Artist Showcase! This Showcase complements our Portrait of an Artist Column edited by Jennifer Bracewell. Every two weeks Jennifer will review and curate work that has been submitted to our dedicated Flickr group. In addition, to creating a showcase video which features a sampling of submitted work, we will also highlight a few images that have caught our attention… offering some thoughtful commentary about technique, composition and subject matter.

If you are not a member of our Facebook group… we highly recommend that you join us! This is our space for sharing newsworthy information and conducting discussions (what, when, where, why and how) regarding mobile portraiture and portraiture in general.

Please join our Facebook group for information sharing/discussions (link here)

Please upload your portraiture images to our Flickr Group for fortnightly showcase submissions (link here)

We hope you enjoy this weeks’ showcase…

I adore this subtle double exposure by Diana Nicholette Jeon. The meditative pose and interesting crop make me want to know more about the story behind this piece.

Rob De Paolo’s stunning black and white portrait jumped out at me. I love the calm figure contrasting with the chaotic graffiti. Beautifully done.

This self-portrait by Karla is beautiful, ethereal and I love the tones and texture. A gorgeous image full of mystery.
