I’m proud to announce our 22nd finalist. Levet, Christophe (aka Chris) is a portrait photographer from Grenoble, France.

It’s easy to get into a rut when making portraits. It’s hard to come up with something fresh. It’s even harder to do that and maintain a definable style. Chris has no problem with either. His portrait work is beautiful, edgy and very fresh. His use of light is masterful. His subjects have great expressions – which is the real secret to a great portrait. He calls these Nouveaux Portraits and I really like them.

Take a look at Chris’ work here and congratulations to Chris. We’re going to announce the next finalist in two weeks.

Here’s a complete list of the finalists so far:

1. Ara Roselani

2. Ana Adams

3. Bryan Holliday

4. Amar Rameshbabu

5. Joseph Linaschke

6.Tia M. Bailey

7. Chitra Aiyer

8. Christian Del Rosario

9. Daniel Winters

10. Bryan Rowland

11. Haroon Sheikh

12. Jessica Lark

16. Andrew Geddes

17. Ryan Gibson

We’re half way home. With this selection, 12 superb photographers have been showcased. I’m proud to announce our 12th finalist. Jessica Lark is a Pennsylvania-based photographer who specializes in erotic and boudior photography. She’s very new to the photography business but she already shows a sense of certain style and a passion for her work rarely seen in someone so young. She’s dedicated to the legitimization of erotic portrait work and her strength and commitment to that goal is obvious. Her work is moving, stirring and exciting and well worth note here in our showcase.
