The Artistic Computer Geek
After a few days with rain and grey skies the sun was out again yesterday so I decided to shoot another street portrait. This is Mats Ekström from Vendelsö. He is an esthetics student at the Fredrika Bremer secondary school in Handen. I am a computer geek, he told me, sounding rather proud as he said it. He enjoys creating characters for video games. That work usually starts on paper and finishes in Photoshop. The programme at the school also involves photography, painting and sculpting.
(I spotted Mats and one of his friends in Handen, his friend had orange hair and eyebrows, but he choose to stay un-photographed).
Great title...really matches the photo!
ReplyDeleteThis a terrific portrait. The lighting is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteun beau portrait de cet artiste, d'accord avec l'ami Bob, la lumiere est superbe
ReplyDeleteTummelen upp for foto og kar!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
Sounds like a talented chap.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your portrait. I wish I could do more in Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteA great portrait. He looks like he's very serious about his artistic geekery!
ReplyDeletehe looks serious...
ReplyDeletephotoshop is too complicated; but why do so many people want to work on their photos after they were taken?
I think the title describes a lot of us in the photo blogging world.
