These are some works of David Baily, who is an amazing
portrait photograph, but has also worked in other fields. But I’m looking at
his portraits because it’s an area I’m planning on going into with my personal
work. I personally like Baily’s work because instead of straight portraits done
in a traditional manner, they explores a more expressionistic style,
making the subject do things like with the portrait of Will smith pulling his
ears and eyes closed, or like the portrait of Jack Nicolson it’s very different
to what you would expect of a portrait, and that’s the kind of thing I want to
do, especially with wanting to work in self-portraiture I don’t want straight photographs,
I want something different that’s going to be engaging, yet still work as a
portrait and expresses what I want it to.
