Description
I've been trying for years
To find the one thing that is me
A definition that fits no one else
A unique way to describe who I am
It's only when I stopped looking that I found it.
And now I can't escape it
I what I am, It's me
No other way to put it


****

I do some portraits from time to time, mainly for a magazine I shoot for (OTOT is it's name, and it's for marketing and advertising). This is Shoni Rivnai, one of the owners of an Advertising agency in Israel (Bauman Ber Rivnai). I wanted to take his picture in a surrounding to best tell who he is. Other than his day job, he is an accomplished artist and painter, so I asked to take his picture in his loft, where he paints. When I saw his own self portrait, he just finished, it was obvious to me what I should do. I love this one very much.

I think it's a cool idea, but I'm not too fond of the way his eyes are looking down. But I get the idea, it's supposed to be like his painting pose...still cool though

Nice one

Portraiture can many times be fake, an illusion of somebody that is not.
This is a much more honest approach

That is a very nice picture. The painting is astounding, and the way that he has a very similar facial expression as he did in the painting is a nice touch.
