Bill Wadman: 365 Portraits

Posted on by

I have previously linked to Bill Wadman’s 365 Portraits on my TumbleDrew site. But I’ve just been looking at the site again and wanted to draw more attention to it.

Bill Wadman has to be the best portrait photographer I have ever seen. Technically, he achieves such wonderful sharpness and clarity in his images. This is combined with great colours and tones. Finally, how he manages to capture the uniqueness of a random person each day is amazing. Just by looking at their portrait, I get a sense of knowing the person.

As an example, have a look at this one, and this one, and finally, this one. But really, they’re all great!

    I really enjoy this site and check it out most days. Do you think he does much Photoshop alterations with his pictures? Or is “a picture never lies” true with his subjects?

    Even if he does touch-up that is to be expected and I love the different people that he captures. I recommend the site as well.

    Is he having a “blue” month this month. Seems all his pictures are very blue. I would like a change.

    Everyone always complains about the blue. I like blue, what can I say? ;-P

    And yes, most of the photos involve a fair amount of photoshop work. Mostly curves and saturation.

    Is that some sort of record?
