Portrait Project Artist Research
Phil Sharp Photographer
Something I noticed when looking through Sharp’s photos is
that the majority of the people in the portraits have a serious and standoffish
face. They all have piercing eye contact as though they are looking through
you. The composition seems to be all about the sitter. There's no sense of
place or context. It seems as though the portraits could be an actor's headshot
for a serious role in a TV Drama. I really like the emotion portrayed through
expression. When taking my photos, this is something I have been thinking
about. Connection through the eyes.
