Tired of my landscapes?

Seven years ago I attended a workshop in Denver on portraiture. This lovely woman was one of the two models we were able to work with. Technically I like the outcome of this image but her expression, that smile, glancing look, is what makes this image work for me. And, she’s beautiful! Anyway, I decided to post this image because I don’t want anyone thinking I only shoot distant horizons of sunrises and sunsets, or latte art or fountain pens and journals. 😂

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    She is beautiful! Very nice work, Monte. Portraits, even casual ones, are not as easy as it looks. Happy Friday. Raining here this morning.

      I agree, portraits are not easy. The photographer and model need to be comfortable. In this case she was very relaxed even with a half dozen cameras focused on her. Nothing more difficult for me than a camera shy model or an insecure model. Overcast skies and cold here.

      You’re quite the defective, my friend! 👍and, your imagination is exceptional. We were in an alley in downtown Denver so it could have been a coffee shop. Loved your comment!
