How to shoot this aesthetic

"The slow, deliberate act of making pigment, gesture, and contemplative time"

Shot list

  • Medium portrait of painter mid-brushstroke, caught in a moment of squinting concentration
  • Wide studio shot showing subject small against a large canvas, palette knife extended
  • Close-up of a palette edge where colors have mixed into an accidental painting of their own

Lighting

North-facing window light or a large diffused softbox simulating it flat, even, color-accurate, with no harsh shadows to interfere with reading the painted surface
