About The Photographer
Wesley is a storyteller and he's extremely curious about emotions.
Wesley’s eye for capturing emotions has helped corporate outfits portray a more human and friendlier side to their images. He set up Memphis West Pictures in 1997, and has shot for many clients, ranging from international companies to local firms and institutions. In the Tronie project, he wants to recreate the essence of portraits in paintings, taking his inspiration from “Tronie”, a type of painting popularized in the 17th century.
