Celebrity Shooter Martin Schoeller Reveals His Unique Approach to Portrait Photography (VIDEO)

Last week we shared an interesting clip from CNN Style, in which famous photographers and collectors discussed “The Power of Photography.” In the new six-minute segment below, acclaimed celebrity photographer Martin Schoeller reveals his unique approach to portraiture.

Schoeller has photographed just about everyone from Presidents Obama and Clinton, to Hollywood icons and female body builders. In an attempt to distill his portraits to the essence of the subject, he has made thousands of photographs using the same camera, the same setting and the same lighting to arrive at a hyper-realistic result.
