Portraits

In this album there tends to be more pictures taken in a studio setting using lights. The decision to feature an image here is quite arbitrary as there are loads more portraits in the Carnival and the Strangers Albums.

I really enjoy photographing people in much the same way that I enjoy sitting in a cafe window watching all the passers by.

I can’t pin down what it is about certain portraits that make me want to share them. It’s probably just that general feeling of satisfaction or dare I say pride that I get when reviewing the image.

That’s my Mum in the first picture below, at 89 years old. Sadly Mum died when she was 90 so that picture is special to me in so many ways.
