Tom Evans Fantasy Portrait - Yves de Contades

Tom Evans, CD, Sapient Nitro:
Keep it simple
Dr Cecilia d'Felice's psychological interpretation:
This relaxed composition suggests a man who is at ease with himself and the world. In this monochrome there is a sense of nostalgia, redolent of times less frantic and a chance to sit, talk and think.

Suzanne Dean Fantasy Portrait - Yves de Contades

Suzanne Dean, CD, Random House:
Rodchenko wrote: "One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole again and again."
 
I took inspiration from my love of Rodchenko’s innovative, graphic photographs.  I wanted a portrait that was both simple and complex at the same time. That incorporated his use of contrast and experimental perspective.

Silas Amos, CD, JKR:
I‘ve long admired Gered Mankowitz’s portrait of Marianne Faithful (taken in the equally beautiful Salisbury Pub) for obvious reasons - but also because I love the guy in the mirror, caught staring for all eternity. As a camera-shy wallflower, I thought paying homage to this great original would mean I could bask in some reflected glamour, and would happily pass an hour at the bar. It did.
