Wayne Lawrence

May 5, 2008

Wayne Lawrence is a documentary/portrait photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. I find his portraits really excellent. Most images appear to be shots of regular people taken in the street, or maybe, not so regular people after all.

I find particularly compelling the intensity of the subjects in his images. They convey a sense of meaningful presence, energizing the moment, and at the same time convey a sense of timelessness. Time has no value, past and present remain the same in their life.
