Following on the heels of my Stephen King portrait, I recently completed a grey-value portrait of film composer John Williams. Even at the age of 90, he continues his musical contribution to cinematic visions both grand and intimate. For this portrait, I found an image online that was best suited for black and white. Not a glamor shot but one that showed a lot of personality and character. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find the name of the original photographer. For the background, I found fabric that had a musical note design and added the blue and gold element for extra pop.
