“Life” Photography
If “a picture is worth a thousand words,” what are a thousand pictures worth? The answer to that question varies, but to those who have had the pleasure of viewing a Life Portrait by David Collins, the response is “priceless.” After all, few can put a value on a person’s accomplishments, triumphs, passions or aspirations, which are all depicted in this unique new art form. Without using actual photos of the person, Collins crafts a creative and colorful collage that captures an individual’s life’s work and wonder.
By conducting research, reading biographies and interviewing his subjects, along with their families, coworkers and friends, the artist obtains vivid stories, interesting historical facts and distinctive personal items to create his one-of-a-kind pieces.
