Video: Amazing portraits by Piet Flour

Photographer Piet Flour does not do absolutely anything special: he does not invent complicated methods of shooting, he does not photograph something that is not clear. He simply takes pictures of the faces of people, real living people who ride the subway with us, walk down the street, pass by in a store, people who sometimes look into our eyes as they walk by.
And he turns out just amazing! Lively, pensive faces of old people, cute faces of children and gloomy profiles of adults. The photographer's lens looks not at faces, but at souls. Every wrinkle on people's faces as if screams to us "pay attention to me, my master has lived a whole life full of interesting events and I can tell you about them, just look at me!"
Piet Flour has worked as a school physical education teacher all his life. After retirement, he became interested in photography. As he writes about himself “I love my wife, family, children, and also travel and delicious food”.
We have already written about such portrait photographers as P Rocha, who lays out faces from grains, Robbie Milan, who creates portraits on plywood (by the way, it really turns out very beautifully) and many, many others. And Piet Flour is far from the last place in this galaxy (although you shouldn't forget that all authors have different ways of working, of course).
In this variety, everyone will find something to their liking.
In addition to the project with portraits, Piet Flour has a lot of other interesting photographic works: he perfectly knows how to shoot landscapes and animals (these are the newer works of the photographer), but, perhaps, the project with faces was the best for him. Although the project with photographs of horses is also worth highlighting, the author's ocean turned out to be kind of gray and dull.
You can see more of Piet Flour's work on his website and on the Internet.

Crumbled watercolor portraits. Celebrities in Crushed Watercolor Portraits by Borja Martinez

Instead of dipping a brush in water and then picking up paint of the desired color from a palette, Borja Martinez breaks dry watercolor into small pieces, down to grains of sand, and then lays out portraits of celebrities from these multi-colored crumbs. This unusual project is called Crushed Watercolor Portraits
