Intimate Story-Telling Photography

These Brad Lou Tennant Portraits Portray Dramatic Raw Emotion

— July 6, 2011 — Fashion
There's something extraordinary about the portrait photography of Brad Lou Tennant. While the settings and subjects are simplistic, the understated elegance in his photos frames an intimate connection between the viewer and the subject.

The raw emotion housed in the eyes of his many muses is contrasted against lighting perfectly fit for the mood of the photo. There's a certain heaviness about the Australia native's portraits conveyed through the dark contrasts and and sullen expressions he captures, which makes the photos all the more dramatic and thought-provoking.
