Portraiture is at the same time one of my favorite types of photography, and one of the hardest for me to do. A good portrait isn’t just composed well; it also has to capture in some way the subject’s personality, convey intimate details through the details in the photograph. And coaxing out just the right emotion in just the right setting takes a special kind of person.

Now, being someone whose typically a bit on the socially awkward side, doing all that can be a difficult for me. But I think that’s why I enjoy so much; that time, and the skill, and the patience required to get a good portrait make it all that much more rewarding.

Anyway, here’s a few of my attempts at portraiture! Definitely one area of photography I would love to learn and grow in!
