Hendrik Kerstens

Hendrik Kerstens work is seeing a lot of press at the moment and rightfully so. Staged, clerical portraits are given a twist with what the model is wearing. Part of the new dutch scene you can see more of the work at: http://www.witzenhausengallery.nl

David Stewart

Today I recieved an email telling me that entries for this years Portrait Prize are now being taken. With this in mind I thought Id spend the rest of the week looking at some of my past favourite winners starting with the work of David Stewart. You can see more of his work on his website: http://www.davidstewwwart.com/

Pieter Hugo

Pieter Hugos series of images showing various men with animals ranging from hyenas to pythons depict the animal handlers of a street circus in Nigeria. You can see more of the work at: www.pieterhugo.com

Alec South

Alec Souths images seem to suggest a study of each person he aims a camera at wether it be the young girl day dreaming of future adventures to the college girl walking down her home path with washing in hand, each shot is carefully composed and reveals the subject as they are.
