Fictional Portraits
by photographer Quang Lam
The portrait has always fascinated because it is supposed to give a glimpse of the true soul.
“Fictional Portraits” is performed under different conditions, which were not traditional posed portraiture sessions . The model had to play an undefined role in a synopsis not written in advance.
In a context of performance, these portraits paradoxically “caught on the spot” do not reflect the personality of the model.
They give us to see a double of the model’s reality, created by the photographer’s gaze.
