AVATAR'S NOT ME, JUST A PHOTO I TOOK!

Photographer, digital artist, and dad.

You don't have to be good at, or even understand politics to know what's good and what's evil.
I'm bad at social media, and no posts mean no engagement, and no engagement means this post will be seen by nobody, but HAPPY HOLIDAYS ANYWAY, BLUESKY!

Much better photo than his previous one.

Don't know you, but heard someone say "show your dogs," so...

Oof, sometimes it sucks to be in the office...

I don't share much work because 99% of it is children I won't/can't share online.

Going to have to change that, but in the meantime, Daddy gotsta wear a stuffy on his head to make them smiles and that cash...

I do love my work,though.

Found these buried in my phone! First image was the inspiration, the other 3 are the result of me being bored in front of the computer.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!

TFW you go looking for #portrait inspiration but all that shows up is #nude images under the portrait hashtag...

Not a prude, just sayin'.

(Yes, this is my image)

This pops up in my feed and I immediately get excited - not for the movie, but OMG THEY GOT ALEX ROSS TO PAINT THEIR POSTERS!!

Two minutes later, I'm depressed and actually quite angry.

Seriously, #fuckAI art. This is a gd travesty, and shame on Marvel.

On a day where a rapist felon can take power and the richest man in history can flaunt his real intentions with the media barely saying anything, make your art speak like Woodie Guthrie's guitar.

You're very welcome.

I get the intent, and it's bad, but the real failure is the photographer choosing style over basic knowledge of the craft. Proof - J.D. Vance's picture. Never put a side light on a round head, it makes it more round, and that guy does NOT need a fatter head!

It's a lack of knowledge in regards to lighting and art history. It's glamour lighting to look trendy and strong, but it has too much light from underneath - you can see the long light in the bottom of his eyes. This creates what's called "monster" or "frankenstein" light. History won't be kind.

Less horrifying, still bad lighting.

You don't want to put skim lighting on a round head. It makes it look even more round and fat.

I can't believe this isn't done to mock him. It's not. Just bad lighting knowledge, done because it's "cool and stylish."

I wondered if the #trump portrait was a political statement. Looked up the photographer. Nope, dude drank the kool-aid.

It's high end lighting with no care or knowledge of lighting purpose or art history. Iykyk - bad underlighting is literally monstrous.

I'm a pro photographer and digital artist (for now) outside Toronto, ON (also for now).

Sharing some of my past personal work as I contemplate my future.

Personal project of portrait studies from 2009. The Toronto Zombie Walk, juxtaposed with a wrestling show
