the michael wilson portrait: great faces
Michael has said, “my work with musicians is perhaps the most recognizable face of my work.” An understatement. For included among the faces of Michael’s portraiture are such music icons as B.B. King, Lyle Lovett, Waylon Jennings, Randy Newman, Emmylou Harris, Bill Frisell, Over the Rhine, David Byrne, Philip Glass, Dawn Upshaw and Renee Fleming. Talent from wide-ranging musical genres all drawn to Michael’s distinctively understated portraiture. What they see is what you see here. Portraits born in the artistic tradition of Felix Nadar, Matthew Brady, August Sander and Irving Penn. Portraits developed in the Michael Wilson style. Portraits made in acknowledged accord between photographer and individual. Artist and Photographer Michael Wilson is now taking appointments for portraits in his Cincinnati studio. - - - April 2009 CityBeat interview |
