19 Celebrity Portraits Taken After The 2019 Oscar Ceremony

When the curtains went down after the 2019 Oscars ceremony, many of the celebrities went on to attend the annual afterparty, hosted by Vanity Fair. During the party, photographer Mark Seliger took portraits of the celebs in a calmer and less formal setting and they look as amazing as ever.

However, the setting was no accident - the Art Deco style interior, the marble stairs, and the checkered floor were are meticulously chosen by the photographer to highlight what the Oscars really mean to the celebrities. h/t: Bored Panda

To create the moody and visually appealing photos, Seliger had to carefully plan the lighting and temperature, and have his subjects interact with the surroundings.

There was no other person suited better for the job than Seliger: he shot over 150 covers for the Rolling Stone from 1992 to 2002 and regularly photographed covers for GQ and Vanity Fair from 2002 until 2012. He currently works with many fashion magazines, including Vanity Fair, Italian Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and others.

One of the first people to have their portrait taken was actress Selma Blair, who has recently announced her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It was her first public appearance since the announcement. "I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS. But we are doing it. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best," wrote the actress recently on Instagram.
