Les Schmidt
"Nisha, New Orleans, 2021" - Contemporary Woman Portrait Photograph

2021

About the Item

Award-winning New Orleans artist Les Schmidt has turned his attention this year to portrait photography, and I was actually one of the first to get in line to have my two daughters photographed. Les brings the same artistry and attention to detail to the human face that he has brought to his Dorothy Jean faded flowers series as well as his (new for 2021) large-scale Secret Garden portfolio. The photos shown for sale will be available in limited editions of 20, but you can also have him shoot a custom portrait, to be transacted securely through 1stDibs. Whether a portrait of your children, significant other, parent or even of yourself, rest assured you’ll have a one-off piece of art from a master photographer. Photo shoots can be arranged in New Orleans and travel shoots will be considered. Please send a message and we can discuss details. Prints of various sizes up to 45" x 30" are available. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee.
