Gary Oldman Homage

I’m pleased for Gary Oldman and his well-deserved Best Actor Oscar nomination for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Not only am I fan of his charismatic acting style but I also have fond memories of shooting with him in 1998. He was interesting, relaxed, and clearly cooperative.

Some years later flattery took the sincerest form when a young photo student emailed me his homage to my Gary Oldman portrait. I loved it! I was impressed by Matt Yeroschenko’s eye for detail, as well as his effectiveness in re-creating the spirit of my original.

Good luck on Sunday Gary!
