Best Portraits of 2013

As a portrait photographer, I always look forward to these year-end “best of” galleries.

I couldn’t have said this better myself:
“These and the other portraits that make up this LightBox gallery remind us that, as powerful as the grand gesture might be, it is often the quiet, unfiltered gaze of a fellow human being that makes for the most intense, and the most revelatory, of all
pictures.”

NYC Gallery Shows

There are two upcoming NYC gallery openings in April worth mentioning and if you are in the city I would highly recommend taking some time to see them.  The first is photographs by Bill Brandt showing at the Edwynn Houk Gallery and the second is an exhibit of Bert Stern’s images at the Staley-Wise Gallery.  Click on the images below to read about each exhibit.
