Loved the link Richard.I especially like the shot of Igor Stravinsky at the piano.Thanks for sharing this.Very inspirational,indeed.

I have attempted portraiture when painting,but at portrait photography,I find myself woefully lacking...as my gallery attests,lol...But I keep trying,and it doesn't hurt to have young daughters who fortunately aren't camera-shy.So,maybe one day  I'll get somewhere,...I hope...lol.

I have always been a huge fan of John Singer Sargent.His portraits were absolutely  gorgeous.Of course,Madame X being a particular favorite.

A huge inspiration to me, as far as portrait photography is concerned,is without a doubt, P. Horst. I've provided a link for anyone who would like to take a peek.(Hope it works.) I couldn't say enough to adequately express what  a genius I think he was...so I'll just say,his portraits leave me speechless....
