Profiles

Steve Giles

People don't see themselves from the side, and when they do, they are often not pleased. My nose! My chin! Erase please. Profiles are also trouble because glasses can get in the way. There's no eye contact that reveals character. Or is there something special there? This portrait of Steve got me thinking about the possibilities of side views. Here are some more.
