Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under portrait studios | 25 Comments »

Philippe Faraut, French / American portrait sculptor

Philippe Faraut is a figurative artist specializing in life- size portrait sculptures and monumental stone sculptures.
His media of choise are water- based clay and marble.
As an award winning stone sculptor specializing in representational art, Philippe feels that the renewed interest and willingness of artists to return to the study of the human form has the potential to bring back to our society an appreciation for traditional beauty.
Philip Faraut received his degree in woodcarving and the construction of French fine furniture from Germain Sommellier in Annency, France, his boyhood home.
An avid traveller, Phillipe’s destinations have allowed him the opportunity to study the cultures of many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, thus influencing his work in portraiture sculpting.
Afther establishing residence in the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia, he developed an interest in modeling the head in clay.
Soon thereafter, he relocated his studio to New York State and began teaching sculpting classes.
Philippe has created numerous original works ranging from six- inch porcelain figurines to monuments in both stone and bronze.
He has exhibited his sculptures in various galleries and national competitions including several of the national sculpture society’s annual exhibitions shown in New York city.
In addition, he has studied forensic reconstruction with internationally recognized expert Betty Pat Gatliff.
For over fifteen years Philippe has traveled trhoughout the United States and Canada, teaching sculptors and aspiring sculptors how to render portraits in clay at private studios and institutions such as the Longvieuw museum of fine art in Texas.
Together with his wife Charisse, the couple has made Philippe’s techniques available to students in the form of a three- part video series, in addition to step- by- step instructional sculpting books.

Baba Brooks – Portrait Of My Love (1960’s) Ska, Reggae.

Posted by admin on February 17th, 2010 and filed under portrait studios | 14 Comments »

Baba Brooks- Portrait Of My Love

Oswald Baba Brooks started his musical career as a trumpet player with the Eric Dean Orchestra in Jamaica in the 1950’s. The Jamaican bands played mostly Folk, Afro, Jazz, they played at clubs, big hotels and sometimes on local radio. This was an exciting scene at the time but began to die out towards the end of the fifties. Band members began to move into the recording studios in Kingston that were emerging at the time with the advent of the Sound System. The records that were produced kept the musicians well employed. Most big bands began to die out and only a few managed to survive into the sixties and beyond. One such band was Byron Lee, they became the Islands premire band and established many talented musicians including Baba Brooks. He soon became a popular session man working for many of the top record producers and featured on many of the great Ska tracks during the golden period from 1963 – 1967. He was riding high in 63′ with three hits in the Jamaican charts, Musical Communion, Bank To Bank and his version of Watermelon Man. This was a year before the Skatalies had been formed as a band, with whom he was to play on many occasions.

With Duke Reid he had many records released on his Treasure Isle/Dutchess labels. Teenage Ska was a brilliant driving ska beat track in his instrumental style. He had a habit of using a voice over intro calling out the name of the tune as on Seven Guns Alive, Girls Town Ska, Guns Fever & One Eyed Giant. On Alcatraz Count Machuki spoke the catchphrases/lyrics in the DJ style, to great effect. Other producers he worked for were King Edwards, which produced Shank I Sheck another early Ska track. With Lindon Pottinger he had half a dozen releases on the LOP label (some not issued in the UK). Later he was to arrange sessions for his wife Sonia Pottinger for her Gay Feet and High Note record labels. He found himself working in familiar surroundings as they were held at Duke Reids Treasure Isle studio on Bond Street. One of his best instrumentals was First Session, issued on GayFeet in 1966. He only had one other chart hit with This is Thunder in 1966. Most of his instruments were written by himself or in partnership with fellow musicians such as Don Drummond. During the Ska golden period he played along side all the greats, Roland Alphonso, Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Lester Sterling, Johnny Moore, Gladstone Anderson and Jackie Mittoo. It does seem strange that he did not record for C.S.Dodd or have any records released on his Studio One labels. He would appear not to have had any more releases after 1969.

i need a great photographer for two portrait head shots where can i find one?

Posted by admin on February 15th, 2010 and filed under portrait studios | 3 Comments »

i would like to take two black and white portrait head shots. does anyone know where i can find a photographer to do this and how much would is cost? i need them done within the month of october. no later. i would like to put a picture in my portfolio. and the other one i would like to use and give to my gf for her upcoming birthday in the first week of november. then if i really like them i would like for my gf to take a portrait, so i can hang the portrait on the wall in the den. does anyone know how to go about this? is it possible i can go to sears portrait studios where they take portraits of children and go there and get mine done? i only need two and i would like them black and white. but if a color photo is less expensive, i will settle for taking a color photo. thanks everyone.

Why don’t you look at this website and look over some of the portfolios in there then find a photographer in your area that you like their style of work and then contact them and see if they would be interested in a photo session and what are their fees.

Go to "talent" then "photographers" and look up in your area or by zip.
