The article discusses the qualities of portraits of British photographer Bill Brandt, from 1930s to 1940s. In 1930s, Brandt focused on social portrait and the urban setting but in the 1940s, seriousness and reticence became the hallmarks of his portraiture. His serious style of portraiture started with a feature for the December 1941 issue of "Lilliput" where his portraits of young poets such as Dylan Thomas and Anne Ridler were presented. He portrayed his subjects thoughtfully and in isolation. He regularly used the Rolleiflex camera because its ground-glass provided him a clear view of the subject. Brandt experimented tirelessly with his shots just to achieve the veiled chiaroscuro tone typical of his portraits. Several examples of Brandt's portraits were presented. |
