I had the opportunity to take photos of Hiroshi, a world reknown violin maker. When I found out that I would be shooting him, this is the first image that sprung to mind. Each instrument takes years to complete from commission to final product. And each piece is like a baby that he nurtures and then sends out into the world with a life of its own. I asked him to take this pose and i did not even have to ask him to have a calm and peaceful look...that was his natural inclination.....as if he was praying over his work. Incidentally, this is actually a viola....for it is a bit bigger, therefore just a bit more visually impacting.
The start of a series about roles and their inextricability from identity.
Poor Hiroshi, it looks like he has been wasting his life creating violins when it is quite obvious he is a far better model.
Very nice shot btw.... can't wait to see what is next.

Saw my reflection, covered in glass
How it reminds me of you
Broken like a vision, an unfinished season
Terror had struck me, but all I could see is your soft skin
What an amazingly beautiful photo
The feeling you describe is really captured in the picture, and the lovely scenery only adds to that
How did you get the opportunity to shoot him??

It's like being captured in a dream. There is truth, but no logic.
Very impresice touch and sense of meaninful composition in this. Nice oportunity and well done!
Only thing I would have made different it maybe a little less sepia, more towards b&w maybe but that's personal.
Nice work Lorraine.

If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time. Robert Doisneau.
I love how he looks like he is right in front of me, and just happens to be motionless. I also love how beautiful the viola looks with the tones. I string instruments.

i can hear the birds and smell the flowers.
a truly well chosen place.
the cloth he is wearing show the "worker" and artist in himself. the pose and look portraits his love to insturments but also his role "behind the scenes". the viola does not just make the instrument look bigger but also him look smaller.
much love and passion but also a bit of caution and shwoing his role of a respected artist for a group of insiders only.
