I Want To Be This Photographer...

Anyone that've seen my photos will know I like to do photos, especially self portrait like him:

It's tricky to make an impression in the noisy world of photography but one snapper has found a way to cut through the clutter, foregoing his dignity in the process.
For the past five years, photographer and adjunct professor at Virginia Commonwealth University Gordon Stettinius has been sending intentionally awful portraits of himself dressed as one of more than two dozen creepy-looking characters, as follow-ups to industry professionals.

'I sign portraits as though I am that somebody,' Mr Stettinius told Wired.

Some of the photos taken from DM:

And one of my favourite:

Pity I've sold off my kit and focusing on my work, but come Christmas, I'll hope I'll have time and focus to get back into 'fun photography'.

I actually think what he has done is pretty cool, he has demonstrated how different you can make one person look and through the use of photography. All the more kudos to him to doing it as a self-portrait which is much harder than being behind the camera.

Question is, which look do you think suits him best?

Has got to be the Milton Jones look

All photographers should look like him, too many Chase Jarvis looking photographers on the internet. Need more kwerks.

Haha, that is exactly the same one which I thought said "Photographer".

He does look like Milton Jones in it, but I also thought he looked a little like The Dude from the Big Lebowski.

He looks pretty good as the governor candidate

I'm impressed, took me a second to twig it was the same guy. Really like the first picture look he has going on with the shaggy sort of perm and tinted glasses. He looks well cleaned up with the shorter hair and suit too.
