Week 13 Portraits



I love these two portraits because they are such candid shots, but it was not easy to get these because the subjects were, initially, very conscious of the camera.

The first photograph, was taken at Sunday brunch on the last day of a weekend where I had my camera at the ready the entire time. I think my friend finally got comfortable enough (and I had my camera ready) so that I was finally able to get a good shot of her really smiling as she laughed at another friend's joke.

The second photo is of my daughter who, usually, likes to be front and center with a photograph. [All poses, no real expressions.] However, once again, I was just carrying the darn thing around in my hands most of the day and she finally forgot about it.  [When I cropped this photo, I allowed some room to the left of her image (the direction in which she is running) giving her some space to look in to.]
