Author's Note: For this contest I wanted to give a notable photographer the vector treatment! Since I've been working exclusively in Adobe Illustrator, this was a fun challenge for me to push the photo-realism while still maintaining my style and a sense of whimsy - hence the 'big game hunter' vibe. :)
P.S. I will never ever ever draw stubbly beards again.
P.P.S. As always, zoom for better detail, etc.

Thanks!
