I think so, yes. These might fit into the portrait category. I find them interesting and well-done--nice work.

Nice set of images, Tom. I like the peek over the shoulder approach and use it myself. Normally I do it when people are creating the art, but looking and doing are pretty much the same in this case. Feel like a bit of a voyeur at times. Also like the subdued lighting, it complements the "museum feel" and focuses the attention on the pictures themselves.

Thank you. I tried to do something different. I am glad that you like them
