Anyone who has been reading this blog right along has read me going on and on about what I think portraiture is. The possibilities of a good portrait are endless if done with a few things in mind. Who is the person being photographed? What do they do, what have they done and what do they someday hope to do? Sort of funny things to think about when making someone's portrait. Most of the time people don't expect these sorts of questions, they go to a photographer because they like the lighting the photographer uses, or the props, backgrounds, locations etc... They like that the picture the photographer shows as examples are all very nice and everyone has a good expression etc.... All good reasons to go to a photographer. To me a portrait reveals a persons life, their character and the life they have lived---the great portraits reveal the dreams they have - this is not an easy task in a photo, but its what i strive for. Sometimes it takes a little work to get there on my part and my subjects, but when we get there, the portraits are portraits and not just facsimiles of the person. SayerMotter Photography ph
