I had sort of forgotten about profiles. I had lunch with someone the other day who said how much she like the profile photographs I had taken of her daughter. Since then I've been taking a lot of profiles again. A profile tends to support the distinguished qualities of your subject. The idea of the person as a thinker or a visionary--or someone not concerned they are being photographed. It takes the connection of the portrait away, no eyes looking back at us a viewers, so we can examine the person comfortably(Its funny how even a picture staring back at us makes us a little uncomfortable to be staring too close.) Today I didn't really capture a picture that I felt I needed to post, so I went to a picture I took the other day of Manuella. Photograph by Richard Sayer
