Martin Schoeller

Schoeller's portraits have a very small range of lighting, backdrop, and tone. His photographs remind me of mugshots. Most of his subjects are well-known celebrities. I like how his images show every detail in the subject's face. Most of them are only headshot, which personally doesn't give me much inspiration, it's not the route I see myself taking.
One thing I do like is that the celebrity shots are among the ones of people you could pass on the street and it makes them seem like "real" people. I also like the images with the warmer tones more than the ones with the black to white fade.
