Holbein's Inspiration & Me: Crafting Timelessness in Portraiture

In the realm of portrait photography, the past is not a shadow but a guiding light that shapes the essence of our modern vision. Hans Holbein the Younger, a luminary of the Northern Renaissance, remains a source of profound inspiration in my journey as a portraitist. His ability to capture the very soul of his subjects sets a standard that I aspire to in my studios across New York, London, and Los Angeles. Through the case studies of distinguished individuals, I aim to honor the legacy of Holbein, creating portraits that bridge the centuries between his time and ours.
