There is some magic in classic portrait. In good one.

Basically, tight framed portrait in black and white is something we all have seen thousands of times. Still, when photographer have succeeded in his work – has been sensitive, reactive, carefully looked and listened, felt the shooting situation – the end result is pleasure for eye of the viewer.

Like these portraits by George Holz.
