4 Photographers Who Create Portraits
These photographers create portraits in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we’d expect nothing less! From striking and bold to poetic and thought-provoking, we’re taking a look at art from four artists who showcase humans through the lens.
With portrait photography dating back to as early as the 1830’s, it’s no surprise how much it’s evolved, developed, and flourished over the years. While it started as a more convenient way to simply capture images of people as opposed to painted portraits, it’s since transpired into even more creative expressions and interpretations. It makes sense that photographers today are constantly creating portraits that go beyond just directly showcasing a person’s face. Whether it’s pops of color or collage elements, these four photographers create portraits in different ways.
From nature infusions to female bodyscapes, the work from these artists can bring dreamlike imagination, dramatic eroticism, and more types of vibes to your space. From surreal creations to black and white depictions, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.
1. Aaron McPolin
Focusing on areas of subculture that shine a light upon taboo realms, Aaron McPolin’s photographs feature female subjects, erotic imagery, flowers, and more. Honing in on his portraits, he often infuses pops of color on black and white or muted tones through fashion, makeup, and creative elements to emphasize on powerful themes. Whether it’s a burst of electric eyeshadow or multicolored hands appearing in the portraits, we’re mesmerized by the strong messages radiating from his fierce creations.
From a woman wearing a bright pom pom top to a collection of hands representing body and soul, we think his photos can be an interesting way to create a striking and bold atmosphere. If his art looks familiar, you may have seen his work featured globally in magazines such as Vogue, Playboy and Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, while also winning international photography awards in the categories of fine art, advertising and beauty.
