Photographer 14 | Bill Henson

Henson is an Australian contemporary art photographer, focus mainly on portraits. He is well versed in handling light to create a transcendent effect. His works are usually in dark tone, shot under low light with much of shadow, to isolate his subjects.

Henson's subject of work revolves around youth and adulthood, male and female. His work tends to painterly depict some classical romance.

I like the emotions that are being portrayed in his work, which is kind of dark, silent and melancholic. It gives a feeling that the persons in the frames are being alienated from the world while he/she is close to the edge of giving up their life, numb and helpless.
