Portrait: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This portrait was taken during a photo session with Swanz the Lonely Cat, banjoist, singer, composer and frontman of Dead cat in a Bag.
The studio Plastikwombat-Photography, art and concept is in charge of curating the photographic image of Swanz.
The peculiarity of this portrait is that was robbed by the photographer while Swanz was thinking we were about to take a break.
It is not included in his official promotional material because instead of matching his public figure, reveals his sweetness and humanity and a more intimate relationship with the eye behind the camera.
Swanz, heavily dislikes this portrait.
