Female Portraiture Portfolio

Soul Portrait is an ongoing project looking inside a woman's being and state of grace. She may be in a state of joy, reflective, sexy, sorrowful, confident. She is mostly all of these and changes can come in an instant. She is strong and love is her breath of life. I celebrate all of her in this series.

I can tell you anytime I have had the chance to watch her perform and photograph her, she is pure blues energy and she takes no prisoners. She slams her tambourine on the piano as if it's the instruments desire. She has a throaty voice and delivers like a songbird all the while. Until next time Barbara, keep 'em smiling.

Sometimes as a photographer I find opportunities to preserve the life of an object through a silent photo essay. The piano was offered up for a hauling company to take her away. I captured it's essence when learning about it. A vintage gown was chosen to be the centerpiece, wildflowers picked from the roadside and beautiful Becca was my only choice to create the character. She waits and dreams for her lover to return in a time when amusement consisted of the simple things in life. A piano was luxury and time spent on the bench of one led to deep thought and searching. She watches the sea for her soldier. She longs for the day he shows his sail in the water, until then... The Piano Woman ©2014

They say that life imitates art. At times art imitates life. Songwriters will convey experience in songs as an example. A trust is built upon words and actions feeling so genuine at the time that one may fall in love with a smile coming from the heart and knowing that it is real. Anticipation for what you believed, felt secure of, an understanding that you now realize the power of love. Sometimes trust fails you, the pieces fall all the while learning the fickle nature of another's beautiful words. This story is a reflection from the artist's past experience told through her own lens with self portraits. Just a bad dream lasting for years only to be overcome with an understanding that love comes from within and is exposed with encounters of nature and persons. The peace that comes from knowing it was really a gift after all.

Self Portrait is an art form that has been practiced through the ages. In my fiftieth year I started this project in exploration of my roots, past and future. I will write a book on the subject in 2014 featuring photographers from around the globe.

I have come to the windows at Bergdorf Goodman for my sixth consecutive year to photograph my personal view of the ladies that play the visual centerpiece of David Hoey and his teams imaginations. This years theme was titled "Brilliant Holiday" in collaboration with Swarovski. 7 million crystals were arranged in this installation. It was colorful and happy. Such a delight to view the inspired themes again. Within this link, you will find full views of the windows expertly photographed by Ricky Zehavi http://blog.bergdorfgoodman.com/world-of-bg/windows/#

On my 5th consecutive year of photographing from a through the lens perspective of the ladies gracing the windows. It's the "Inspired" year at Bergdorf Goodman. Another stunning display of fashion and artistry.

On my 4th year photographing the holiday windows featured at Bergdorf Goodman I look for the details in the displays to feature as a prominent view to be enjoyed long after the windows are put away.
