Break out the short list of photography's great portraitists and most likely (ie- guaranteed), the name of
Jacques Sonck won't be anywhere near it- in fact, chances are no one will even be familiar with the name outside his home country. I know I wasn't until I had the great fortune to see his work on
Lens recently. Here's this guy who's been chugging along for decades doing pretty much the same as
Richard Avedon- minus the fame, the wall sized prints and celebrity packed exhibits, the entourage of assistants to pick out his subjects and set up his camera...
A "portrait" of humility and under appreciated artistic accomplishment...
