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.

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.

Probably has a fountain pen and journal in her blazer pocket and that building is a coffee shop.
Nice portrait though!

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!
