Portrait Of My Father

Copyright 2008 Patrick Scott Bell
With a fine art focus I often get distracted thinking I have to keep dedicated to creating something “brilliant” and new. When I get out of that chaotic mind state one of the things I find fascinating is portraiture, and the composition of the human face and body. The more I take photographs of people I am reminded that the fine art focus of new ideas I can find in the structures of the human body, and through positioning and lighting I can continue to be original. This portrait of my father holds a certain longing to it, the lighting and the color also bring focus on age and remembrance of youth.

I see a certain melancoly in your father or perhaps he is just planning his next theatre production.
