| History of Portraiture
Human beings have always recognized the importance of recording images of people and events. Ancient and archeological sites around the world are evidence of early man's efforts to pictorially capture and describe his surroundings. History has always been meaningful.
Hundreds, even thousands of years later, they help us imagine what life was like, what (and who) was important. In a way, we are able to transcend time and look through their eyes.
As his tools improved, the artwork commemorating mans’ history - and the figures that shaped it - became more elaborate. However, it was only the elite or very rich who could afford to commission artists to painstakingly produce the likenesses and scenes that now grace art galleries, churches, and museums.
Master’s Touch Portraiture
Symbolic. Meaningful. Beautiful...
A masterpiece.
At Master’s Touch, portraiture has risen to a new level through Master Photographer Reginald D. Mess. He has combined the old (canvas painting) with the new (artisan photography) and uses his talent to create portraits that are exceptional in all ways. Like the old masters, REG's work mirrors the magnitude of cherished frescoes and tapestries, such as those found in the Cistine Chapel and great halls of Europe.
Clients are constantly amazed by REG’s uncanny ability to select just the right spot for the portrait. Just the right time of day for lighting that is pure magic. Just the right whatever-it-takes to create an image that is symbolic, meaningful and beautiful. But then, as Benjamin Franklin said “The eye of the master will always do more than his hand.” REG MESS is no exception. His portraits tell the story.
