I love the old paintings in our beautiful museums, one of my favorite things to do on a free day is to visit the Legion of Honor or the deYoung Museum here in San Francisco and look at all the old masters portraits.
One thing that I strive to recreate in my own portraiture is connection; a sense that the eyes are alive and watching the viewer, creating a desire in the viewer to know more about the subject. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by portraits we’ve made here in the studio that make me feel as if I am with beautiful, loving and supportive women all day long, like this one.
It’s all very subtle: the connection in the eyes, body language and light all play together to make perfect legacy portraiture – portraits that transcend time and offer our subjects a little slice of radiant immortality.
I love that as I walk around the studio all eyes follow me.
I’ve read that this is part of the captivation in the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a masterpiece I adore.
Before a session I invite guests into the studio for a complimentary consultation so they may have the chance to see all of the beautiful portraits we can make – at that time, over tea we can plan the photo session of their dreams and chat about all the important details.
Beauty beyond Perfection!
