I went down to Art in the Pearl last weekend, with an idea in mind: to make portraits of artists with their work. So. Much. Fun.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. -Henry Ward Beecher
Does the artist paint her own nature on to her pictures? Or do the pictures paint their nature on to the artist?
Maybe the truth is that they’re both at work on one another…
What do you think?

What could be interesting is asking them what kind of portrait they would like to take with their work. I bet some would dream up great ideas!

That would be interesting, Krissi. At Art in the Pearl, it was crowded & I didn’t want to do anything that would deter the artists from interacting with potential customers, so it was mostly very candid, and shooting around crowds… but that would be a fun project for the future. Would also love to shoot artists at work in their studios!
