Bell Photo Art — Be Inspired. » Fine Art Portrait Photography for discerning clients!

There is so much that goes into an art image. Although we cover a lot of the deeper meaning behind an image during the preview session, usually only the subject and her family get to hear that. So I thought I’d share just a little of what I’m doing, as an artist, to create something that goes beyond a “pretty picture”. In truth, what I do is simply see… really see… and record what I’m seeing through my art. So here’s my “lens” on Cooper.

——

When I look at Cooper… when I really “see” her… I see a truly captivating young lady. Her inner beauty is sometimes overlooked, I think, because… well, she is gorgeous. But there’s much, much more.

Cooper possesses a focus and attention that is riveting. Yet when she graces someone or something with her attention, everything else fades. I portray that, here, in the sliver of sharpness in her eyes and lips, and the way the rest of the image gently fades to obscurity.

There is a deep sparkle within Cooper, a brilliant child-like joy, as seen in her lovely, open expression. At the same time, she possesses a strength and courage that is uncommon for someone so young. I have discovered that Coooper is fearless!

In this image, I wanted to show the amazing depth that Cooper possesses, the ability to exist in her own world, surfacing occasionally to gift us with her warmth and intensity. Finally, we see Cooper the young lady and, as she grows into maturity, Cooper the woman.

Congratulations, Cooper! The world waits for you!
