"Portraits are supposed to "look within," but in my opinion very few people have an interior significantly different from the outside portrait." Jon Witcomb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Portraits II

Shooting portraits of unknown people in the street has some peculiarities when compared to the well controlled conditions of a studio. Things to take into account include the light, the angle, colour and intensity - all of which may favour the photo or not. Then comes the subjects themselves. More relaxed since they only realize what is about to happen seconds before it does - or shortly afterwards - which means more "natural" photos. All in all, a pretty challenging but also rewarding activy.
