Portraits

Recently I’ve had the chance to do some portraits for people who have been interested. One set was for the Stewart family, for their yearly family portrait. Unfortunately, I was a bit late to their house so we only had a wedge of sunlight left to work with in the nearby park. Many of them were not so great because of it, but there were a few really cute ones, even if not the ideal- this was one (from left to right, Arthur-Paul, Melissa, Arthur, Iain, and Mairin):

I also had the awesome privilege of helping to fulfill a little dream that my friend Busi has had for a while of doing a certain style of photo for her, dressed in a sheet- kind of like in Roman times. We did some really amazing shots in my backyard, mostly in black and white, but this one was really classic and gives you some idea of the set-up:

It has been fun to get back into photography a bit, especially as I haven’t yet gotten back to my art. But this is a type of art! Portraits, especially like the ones I did for Busi, are my favorite type of photography- it is just an amazing feeling to be able to speak to someone, through the lens of your camera, how beautiful she is. . .
