A Tale of Two Faces
It was a sad time for Lourcey Photography this week. My favorite model - who has been a fixture in several of my prints and Christmas cards- moved away to Florida. Before he left, I made sure to drag him in for one last session. I printed up one of the images to give him as a going away gift and left it sitting on my entry hall table. It just happened to be sitting next to a portrait I painted of him earlier in the year. It certainly made for a very interesting pairing…
The painting on the left was done early in the year - when I was trying out a new painting technique. I was going for a soft, Old Masters look - ala an old Rembrandt painting. The black and white image on the right is a much more detailed character study. I was just so surprised how different the same person can look with different photographic approaches.
