Just a quick shout out here. @charise on Twitter gave me another idea about these Black and White Photos I have been hoarding and using on WeAreJustCreative for the Featured Nice Person on the home page.

I want to create a stunning collection of black and white portrait photos of everyone that I ineract with online and offline. Think it could be a cool idea, may even create a unique site for it if I get enough interest, say using a minimal photo folio theme.

I have a domain name for this site. www.monoexpression.com (nothing there yet).

What I would also like to do, is to create a post/gallery of all the portraits I have so far. It's one thing to be known on Twitter by your username, or by your website header, or maybe a small About Me photo. But these landscape photos, the ones I have so far, are looking awesome and are hugely atmospheric and really give off a totally different vibe to usual About Me images etc.

As well as the photo, I need a small bio, just a few paragraphs about you, the photo etc.

Just because you may not have this size of image to hand it does not matter. Send me any good portrait head shot you have, and i should be able to make it into the size I need, even if it means creating a false black OR white background, whatever suits the image more.

So even if you have a regular 6x4, if its a nice head shot (not really a snap or passport photo, something with a little atmosphere to it) then do send it along. I can make it Black and White also if you don't know how to do that.

Check this original post out on WeAreJustCreative:

...for a feel about what I am talking about and also look at the home page for further examples.

And by doing so you are also making yourself available to be a Featured Nice Person for a week at some point. Yay.

You can email me the photos etc.
