    Re: Portrait

    Some nice portraits you have been posting lately Willem. This one is my favorite out of your recent stuff. Has lots of character. I'm a little torn on the white background though. One of the things I like about your work is you get the whole scene in the shot, they have more of a story to them. The white background doesn't do this guy justice. He's such an interesting character I would have liked to have seen more of what was going on.

    I dunno Aaron,
    I'm intrigued by how the white background forces you to make eye contact with the subject. It's almost confrontational, something we rarely see in a portrait. I've not been around long enough to see a lot of Fotowillem's prior work, other than what he has put up at his weblog, but I am quickly becoming a huge fan.
