One thing I hadn't really spent much time in with my photography of the last 25 years was developing my eye for portraiture. I studied portraiture in Photography School and learned a great deal about lighting and light/shadow ratios and composing the lights to create the shadows to best light the different shapes of faces out there. But I didn't really practice it much as I was a documentary and journalist photographer who didn't really like to pose. Over the last year I've been changing this a bit and working on developing this eye to serve my clients the best I can. I keep learning new things and improving, but I still like to take an approach that a pose is a suggestion only and that the subject brings more to the table than I do and its up to me to make sure they are relaxed and when they project the right expression that really makes the portrait special--all I need to do is be prepared and light it well and snap the shutter at the right time. And boy is that the fun part when that happens. This is a portrait of Aubry for her portfolio that I shot earl
