Thank you, Pierre Vinet

I can't express how much I love this man's portraits of the trilogy characters. What a way he had of capturing his subjects. I bow my head in memory of this gifted artist whose work has so enriched my love of The Lord of the RingsTo commemorate his work, I am linking an entry I made a few years ago, presenting

Thank you for the link to your older post. They are stunningly gorgeous images.

Aren't they super? His colour portraits were jaw-dropping, too. (My icon is from one of his Frodo portraits, which I'm sure you know intimately.) And his production stills for the films were iconic. What a loss!

Oh yes, I know that photo--so very lovely.

Do you know if he did any color photos of Sam?

[mechtild]

No, I don't Belle. But I've never actively looked for Sam photos. But some of the very well-known colour stills of Sam with Frodo are by Vinet, though. Maybe a book of his work will come out. I'd buy it in a trice. :)

I discovered that looking at the AICN link, thank you!!

Yes a book would be lovely.
