Portrait of the man

I was knocked out by one of the best photos I’ve seen in years -- Ken Hively’s portrait of Sam Raimi for “Spider’s Man” (June 27) on Page 4.

As stylistically complex as a Karsh portrait with Hitchcock’s menace, the photo masterfully evokes the formal rigor and psychological complexity that Raimi captures in his films.

Please consider a full noir-ish portrait series of other auteurs by Mr. Hively. This one really rocks.
