Nicole brought her trunk full of vintage clothing over early one morning and we promptly disappeared into the woods. I think the golden colored dress nicely contrasts the dark, wet trees and bright green leaves making her pop out. In retrospect, I would have opened up the aperture more for a more blurred background, similar to Ashton’s portraits, but ultimately I like how these came out. This shoot was really enjoyable – if you have some fun clothes and a friend who’s willing to get his/her feet dirty – go outside! No, I’m serious, get some fresh air and some good practice.

I love portraiture because people can make such incredible faces. Color in landscape and food photography is essential, but emotion can be even stronger and more thought provoking in black and white. It is often the case that the first time you photograph someone, he or she is a little uncomfortable. Just keep the mood light and keep talking -  soon he or she will warm up and settle back into his/her natural behavior.

That’s all for now
