Small Portrait of Fei Fei Sun. 9x12 ink on Bristol paper.
I have made portrait drawings and painting of Fei Fei before and I will make a few more shortly. What makes her such an intriguing person is how little she actually does for the camera. I think of her posing (at least when I was photographing her) as difference between acting for film, in which subtle moves convey so much more, and acting for the stage in which actors must project large expressions and emotion to reach audience. With small shifts in expression and body movements she creates such graceful poses.
