Kevin Abosch - The Face of Fame

Kevin Abosch consistently, unerringly, produces the type of honest portraiture which almost melancholy in its manner, manages to transcend the obvious promotional aspect of celebrity photography. Abosch's images are wonderfully austere and quiet. Italian Vogue says that Abosch "knows the true face of a star" and from his portraits of Johnny Depp and Steven Spielberg to the likes of Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep, we are confronted by not just the personage, but the essence of the person. This truth does not come at the expense of beauty however as Abosch's portraits are some of the most stunning of his subjects. Abosch's work has graced the pages of VOGUE, ELLE, BAZAAR. Abosch has been suspiciously absent from the spotlight since 2005 and for good reason. He now lives in Paris and has turned his energy toward the silver screen. If his movies have the same qualities as his images, we are surely in for a treat. You can view more of Kevin Abosch's photography at www.kevinabosch.com . Kevin is one of those people who is so selfless it makes you want to be a better person.
