Hendrik Kersten's image (second) is a modern take on 15th century Flemish portraits like that of Rogier Van Der Weyden. This is a fun image, and I love the expression on the model's face. The quality of the light is lovely, albeit slightly colder in temperature, capturing that soft glow that I love about Northern Renaissance paintings.
The rest of Kersten's images are quite interesting, especially Sunburnt. I like how his subjects appear so removed - both in physically and emotionally. It's interesting to note that the subject is his daughter, making the relationship between photographer and model all the more interestingly complex. Lovely.
