Lara Match
Me photographing Tom's latest fashion portraits! I've been updating Tom's website with his latest work! Check it out here
The top one reminds me of the Nabokov short story The Russian Beauty (such tragic elegance!) And I love the little detail of the red tipped match in the second portrait of Lara. I always love the abstract play of shape and color in Tom's work, especially in these latest portraits which are so delicate in touch and so refined in their mastery of narrative and form. The shape of the hair or the way a color, such as that wash of black, can anchor and yet float the figure off the page is as telling as the recognition of the face itself.
