Portrait Photographer | Bruce Bowers Photography

Home

I am a photographer of people. Whether a personal or corporate headshot, a family portrait, a custom portrait, a commercial modeling shot or 'look book', a fine art composite image, business development images, artistic nudes or figure studies, the vast majority of my work involves photos of people.

Please contact me to discuss any 'people project' that you have in mind. I'll give you a competitive quote and work with you until you are completely satisfied.

I am Currently Accepting Clients for
Custom Portraits

If you've ever wanted to be professionally photographed at an
interesting site that has special meaning for you, I think we could work together. The two models below, Lucy and Harry, were shot at an abandoned barn in Bucks County, PA, and at a small DC apartment respectively. I edited both using a combination of digital and analog looks and I think the end results were a very interesting marriage of the contemporary and the timeless. Please contact me with your custom portrait idea.
I have a large selection of rural, urban, and abandoned locations if you need suggestions.

I recently had the honor of shooting the cover photo for a new release by Grammy-Winning, Parma Recording. Above is a photo of my client, world renowned violinist, composer, conductor, and soloist, Avner Finberg, DMA. Avner is the winner of multiple international awards and his new album, 'Four Seasons of Isolation', is a joy to anyone with a love of challenging, contemporary classical music. The release date was November 11, 2022.

A Portion of a Review by 'Lens Culture Magazine'

"Glass"

.....Speaking about your technique, I would say that it is quite meticulous and detail oriented. Through an array of visual ingredients, each frame manifests the noise and overstimulation of the cityscape, with which the nameless person tries to get a grip on themselves. There is a melancholic feeling that emerges from the pictures, and the way you see the people around you. The glass is a barrier between you and the subject, that puts the viewer into a clearly observational mode. I see no defects in the pictures. The monochrome format provides the necessary abstraction to elevate the approach from simply representational to poetic. The snapshot aesthetic if you will, gives a sense of spontaneity in the work as the subject appears to be unprepared, therefore realistic, to be captured. This beautiful blend of poetry and spontaneity creates the fascination of the work.

In conclusion, I am delighted to tell you that your approach has a strong concept and aesthetic, solid execution of craft, and originality of vision. You are not just curious about street photography; you love it. At the same time, your approach expresses artistic independence, and that's a lofty goal in and of itself.
