Portraits and shooting people!

Even though Street Photography is my main interest and focus, I do enjoy doing portraits and other such shoots as well. I have shot a couple of weddings, did my friends engagement photos, did my sister-in-law's "Trash the Dress" shoot after their wedding, and for the last couple of years I have volunteered to photograph the Santa pictures at the department store my wife works at. Each of these experiences have made me grow as a photographer and taught me a lot.

This is a shot from my Wife's Brother's wedding a couple of years ago. It was a overcast day, in fact it stopped raining just long enough for the service which was outdoors. As such there were no harsh shadows to work around.


This is a shot from the "Trash the Dress" I did with my Sister-in-Law. It was a great day, it was the first time I ever worked with a non-human model, LOL. It was a bright beautiful day and it was the first time that I had to rely on a reflector to fill in shadows. It was another great learning experience.




This was an engagement shoot that I did for friends, I also shot their wedding. The engagement shoot was a very fun experience. They chose an abandoned railway line behind their house as the location of the shoot and we got some great shots. It was a beautiful fall day.



I would love to do some more portraits and such. A good photographer should be well rounded and be able to do a lot of different styles of photography.
