Cinematic Celebrity Portraiture

Scarlett Johansson

London-born Jason Bell takes photographs as if he was a movie director. Each of his celebrity subjects have a look of purpose and intent. It's almost as if we're looking at a frame right before a dramtic scene in a film.

Bell studied politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford University before returning to London to work for the Sunday Times. He lives in both New York and London.
