Welcome to our twenty second Portrait of an Artist Showcase! This Showcase complements our Portrait of an Artist Column edited by myself. Every few weeks I review and curate work that has been submitted to our dedicated Flickr group. In addition, Joanne Carter creates 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)

‘Not Yet’ – Angie Lambert
Angie Lambert’s self portraits are to me the equivalent to a bittersweet flavor. They are worked with a lot of softness and gentle palettes, but at the same time, their message conveys a lot of drama, emotion, and even occasionally, like in this self portrait entitled Not Yet, some tragedy. Regardless, instead of perturbing, they lure us gently drawing our attention through an intriguing atmosphere, a very artistic and strong body language, an exquisitely crafted edit and an overall successful composition.
‘Hanging Around’ – JH McBandy-Smartphoneographer
I find “Hanging around” by JH McBandy-Smartphoneographer to be a very eye catching self portrait. The upside down pose and the black and white high key treatment make the image so particularly striking. The introspective attitude adds for a captivating atmosphere. It is amazing how keeping it so clean and simple can achieve such an elegant and powerful portrait.
