Portrait Pre-Work

I really liked this portrait because of the man's mustache. Just by looking at it, I can tell that Philippe is a goofy man. His eyes are bugging out and his long, whimsical mustache is very comical. He believed that the human face was the most interesting aspect to photograph, and for that reason, he worked very hard on his portraits in order to provide a window for the viewer to look in to the artist's personality.
