Portraiture 1

I had a friend visit me here in beautiful Australia for a few weeks. She helped me realize how much I love photographing people, as she makes an excellent subject. Anyways, I took heaps of photos, editted a handful, so for a while you'll see lots of pictures of her on here. I think they all worked pretty well; if you think one is especially good or you find that one doesn't work at all, tell me. Anyways, here we go.

I really dig the framing of this. The color of the heart is bright and stands out real well juxtaposed to brynn's face. Her position next to the heart is mysterious, made more so by the fact that her eyes are hidden. Not a profound photo, but I dig how the shot is setup. I saw the pink heart carved into this wooden post and had to take an interesting photo of it

I like the lighting in this photo. It was exposed for the background, and therefore we lose all of Brynn's detail. Honestly, this wasn't really intended but as I was editting this I noticed what I could do with it. Although we don't see any of her detail, her silhouette is set against this beautiful backdrop. Brynns detail is sacrificed for the landscapes detail, which is striking. The clouds are clear and crisp, and the mountains are a bit softer, yet mysterious. I like it.


Ah, the typical Australian picture. I just love the colors in this picture, very rich and full. The light falling on Brynns face is dynamic and lights her well, and the expression on her face is priceless. The lush green background matches the feel of the foreground, and all in all its a pleasant photo.
