What is the shooting style of Cash?

Cash's portrait photos break through the tradition of paying attention to "beauty of appearance" in general photos, but pay attention to the "beauty of expression" of characters. He is good at skillfully using the contrast between light and shade to capture the moment when the inner spirit of the characters reveals, and the characters he shoots are both vivid and vivid. He usually shoots with a small aperture and uses a large negative of 8× 10 inch. Therefore, every portrait photo is rich in layers and strong in texture, and even the wrinkles on every hair, pore and skin can be counted.

In addition to capturing facial expressions, Cash also pays special attention to the positive role of hands. He always tries to organize the hands of characters into the picture. Cash's portrait of the cartoonist David Rowe not only shows the painter's humorous expression, but also depicts the gestures of his hands in painting and conception. As Cash himself said, a character's inner thoughts, spirit and soul are sometimes expressed in an instant through his eyes, hands and posture. This is an important and fleeting moment that photographers need to hold on to. Cash's depiction of the hand of a character liberates the portrait photo from the mode of simply taking the head portrait, enriching and expanding the expressive force of the photo.
