Portraying
the artist
Russell Shakespeare
with the Leica M10-R.
One of Australia’s top contemporary artists, Michael Zavros, began creating the series ‘A Guy Like Me’ for The Australian’s WISH magazine, creating an eerie sculpture of himself to illustrate what the consumer may look like in a post-pandemic world.
I decided to photograph Michael, partly because he is an amazing artist, but he is also very diverse.
My relationship with the M goes back 25 years. One of the most amazing things about the M10-R, when I picked it up, it immediately felt like I was picking up an old friend.
