Artist Danny Roberts is 23 years old and excels in painting portraits. We have recently featured his amazing paintings of blogging personalities. His series of self-portraits, however, is also utterly stunning.
I love this 'Multiple Me' photography series, and watching his drawing and painting process for the self-portrait featured fourth in the gallery proves that practice pays off.
Danny Roberts explains that sometimes he would practice for 15 hours straight. Well done, dude.
Implications - Portrait photography is a connection between the photographer and the subject, but it also draws in the consumers.
