Vincent Kartheiser

Posted on May 17, 2010 by tyler

Vincent Kartheiser is on the show Mad Men which is a show I love, a few of my friends had met Vincent and told me I simply had to shoot him after the 5th time we put the fire out while the police stood by watching I thought to myself my friends were right this guy is awesome and hey we may go to jail together right now! Although we did not go to jail we did have a great shoot and we will shoot again soon… This shoot also features one of my favorites Alessandra Torresani who had 3 broken ribs during this shoot (but that was from something completely different) and was a trooper the whole time!

Letting go is hard letting someone in can be even harder…

Are you a fan of mad men?

Hmmm looks like your anger against women came out to play, Tyler.

When you make already beautiful women look MORE beautiful, your photos shine. But to glorify violence against women, or men for that matter, I …just don’t get it.

LOVE these shots! The concept is brilliant. You can see a whole story in the pictures. And it must be said, Vincent has the most gorgeous eyes. Been a fan of his since his stint on Angel.

@Lisa M its not violence against women its violence with a women who participated in it

All right, I’ve got five minutes before I have to leave, so here goes. Loved it! I’m a huge fan of Vincents, stemming from his wonderful multi layered work on Angel, and on into Mad Men(ugh, that monologue from season one of MM, in his office about the man of the earth, tears, real live genuine, huge, stupid tears, oh and mouth agape as well). Here, he was a bit more raw that he was/is in his known roles, vulnerable, little twisted(talking about the video). Photos, raw again, bleedingly raw(not a word, is now!). I hope you have video of him attacking her, ’cause that would be interesting to see.

All right, mad props to Alessandra Torresani.

Laters.

Tyler, I know that perhaps YOU as the artist know your intent. As a viewer, I have only my own first impression to go by. I adore your framings of beautiful people, male and female both. You imbue such a stark quality that draws out imperfections, and makes your models gorgeous. THAT’S what I like about your photos.

[„Letting go is hard letting someone in can be even harder…“] – as true as love kills

Your work and interpretation of a essential feeling is as always without words. I just enjoy it and wallow in the feeling. It shows me at the same time how usual some feelings & needs like love, fear, lust, hate, and many other feelings are (without feeling bad, because they are humanly). To lose and love are major themes in your work(s), what makes them so significant (for me).
Great work! I’m a huge fan of your work (in general). I’m looking forward to your next works!

And of course i’m a Mad Men Fan. To work with Vincent was a good choice .

Btw.: Poor Alessandra, get well soon!

Really like the way you put the light on your photos…

and, must say, I can’t see that violence against women pointed out on some reply here. I see as violence and anger, pure and simple, and I love the way you explore both throughout your work. (Regardless of genre)

I wish I could shoot like you. =) (and I wish I could shoot Alessandra!)
tyler

@João Marcelo thank you so much!
Cynthia

SPECTACULAR.

And yes, letting someone in can be even harder than letting go.
Claudia

Please tell him that he is really good looking and his eyes are to drown in xD And you Tyler must know…your ideas are just the best ever. Looks sooo awesome!
AJ

These are fantastic… the B&W ones have a very “film noir” quality to them, with the amazing use of shadow. And now that you’ve worked with Vincent you’ve got to get him and Alison Brie together for a shoot! Love Mad Men.
Leigh

Beautiful!! I’ve been of fan of his for years…and you highlighted all the reasons why in these.
Marie

I absolutley love Vincent! I agree hes a mega talented guy… Got to meet him a few times whch he has been awesome each and evry time Your shoots are always amazin!!!

I think it is brillant artwork. I love Vincent Karthieser, he is so cute so he can do whatever he wants to me at anytime and place. I think we all do something risky in our time. So just buttoff and leave him alone. He is just doing what he can for his fans.I will continue being his fan.

I love Vincent and this photoshoot is beautiful- you should work more with Vincent- maybe have water involved- or Vincent tied up…just take more pics of him please! You have some beautiful work! Also nice song choice for the video portrait.
Leia

Ah, Vincent! One of my favourite actors of all time! And Alessandra is just too friggin adorable!
Tyler, I absolutely love these shots and the video! You NEED to work with Vincent again!!! You’re both amazing!

I have seen a bit of video, or at least a gif from this shoot too, and I’m dying to see that. Is it anywhere? And are there more photos from this? I’m so ready to see more of this shoot. It’s incredible.
Alma

Oh I’m an idiot, I meant I’ve seen video/gif footage that ISN’T in the video above. Is there extra footage somewhere online?

I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s beautiful value sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
