Description
I cannot explain how much I adore this picture.This wasn't an organized shoot, this wasn't planned. Actually, I took these pictures just for me and only now have decided to share it with others. We were sitting around on a Saturday, reading the paper and playing with a camera. It doesn't get any more natural than this.
^arachnid15 has modeled for me before, you've seen him in my work. But this is different. This is not a character. This is not a persona used to tell a story. This is Steven Perry. This is the man that I see on a daily basis. I think this portrait captures a lot of who he really is.
A man lost in his thoughts....

He looks like a very special person. From the pictures you've taken to the comments about him beneath the pictures, he seems very special.

Sometimes it is the most simple, honest portraits [like this one] that most catch the eye.

I couldn't agree more.. thank you so much for the kind words. I must say, that of everything I've done, this is one of my absolute favorites. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it

I wish I had more people around me so that I could work on taking portraits. We just moved a few months ago and I'm a home-body. I don't get out much, but that's my fault. ... Anyway, beautiful portrait

Here's to both of us getting out more so we can indulge in our hobbies and other people

I'll drink to that!
All I've had to use for the last year (which is when I discovered the passion beneath the appreciation I've always had for photography.) has been myself or some random objects laying around my house. It's all a direct result of my being a home-body, and an army wife on top of all that. I'm not very good; I have a long way to go before I feel I can even call myself a photographer and not feel silly! But I'm learning. Practice practice practice!

You wanna hear something funny? I STILL can't call myself a photographer without feeling silly
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha! Yeah, I definitely don't think I'm ready for models either!
At least I don't feel so akward, since you feel the same way about calling yourself a photographer.
May I ask you a question? How did you become a gallery director?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, definitely don't feel awkward about that.. I know more than a few that are the same way
$Moonbeam13 is the director of Artist Relations on dA. In her journals [link] she posts openings in volunteer gallery director positions. I applied. I have an intense love, appreciation, and knowledge of the horror genre of art and so I she chose me as the horror/macabre photography GD. Being a GD helps me stay connected to the artistic community regardless of what real life throws my way and so I am here.. bringing you thrills, chills, and screams in the middle of the night

Haha! Thrills and chills
I don't think I could handle being a GD. It keeps you pretty busy doesn't it?

It's one of my favorites.. thank you

Ok, so I just heard that song "Nothings Impossible" and that TOTALLY reminded me of this shot. Tell Steven to hang in there! We had one hell of a conversation today

You two seem to share a very close bond, and not only is that seen through your statements, but your work as well.
I am drawn to this, because it seems to depict just what you said. A man lost in thought. It's thought, and the mind which makes us who we are. I can imagine as though I were sitting in a room with him, staring at him and wondering just what he would be thinking. And I know that I would be too; I'm always somehow drawn to the thinking sort.
Such a beautiful expressive photograph with no feeling of '

Awesome portrait, sometimes the best picture come from playing around or natural surroundings. Great shot.

Sometimes that is absolutely true. I'm glad you like this, thank you

This is intense...almost as intense as arachnid but in a different package of passion.. He appears pensive and reminiscent..technically, I love the play of the curtain and hat with the shadows and sunlight..

Thank you so much, Shell 
Arachnid is definitely a very intense personality and I adore that about him. Very few boring moments around our house
Again, I'm so glad you like you.. thank you sweetie

Beautiful picture. It really has a relaxed feel to it. It shows allot of character.
i love the background and the lighting is gorgeous. Is it natural from a window? It's great to see behind the characters and the make up. It looks like you've captured the real person. I only say looks like, because I'm not in the position to know.
Well done.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup.. that's purely the light coming in through a window. I know I always enjoy seeing a simply captured portrait of people whose work I enjoy, so I figured you'd enjoy a glance at Steven Perry
I'm glad you enjoyed this.. thank you so very much

This is a good one! Aside from it being a good shot of Steven, it has a really cool background!

Superb capture, i like the spontaneous random shots myself, so much can be found within them.
Awesome

sometimes, nothing beats the spontaneity

it really is a beautiful picture, its so wonderful to see such an amazing portrait knowing that it wasnt planned, and it is him, not a persona.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh yea, it is definitely purely him. Thing is.. that look on his face.. that lost in thought expression is just an absolutely regular standard. Thought you guys might enjoy a candid view of the artist. I'm glad you like it, thank you
