The truth is no portrait of substance has people smiling. Look at the history of painting, Rembrandt, Titian, Goya, Velasquez, Sargent, Vermeer, DaVinci, etc., the subjects gaze to the viewer is neutral at best, neither inviting nor forbidding. It is there for the viewer to see and feel. Smiling is like much of American popular culture, superficial and misleading. It is part of our vernacular, but it should be expunged in photographs.

“Bodyscapes” by Kyle Goldie
I was wanting to shoot this style of nude work for quite some time, but without the portfolio of this style to back up my reasoning, it took me awhile to put it together with the right model. I hope you enjoy my first crack at “Bodyscapes” by Kyle Goldie.

So many things come to mind when I try to describe this shoot, but I will let the photos speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy Moments by Kyle Goldie.
Mei Tang Portland Oregon
I wanted to try out something I have never done before. Since I have mainly been shooting commercial images in 2011, I have had little time to really get back to the artistry I’ve been yearning to shoot. So, during my road trip through Oregon, I met with Mei Tang (Option Model Mgmt) at her condo and started getting spontaneously creative. No team involved. No assistants. Just me and her. This is what we came up with.
