Portraits
Above
are samples of various people I met while I lived + worked +
travelled in various countries
and continents around the world.
In relations to portrait photography there is not a "one solution"
that fits all. On the contrary there exist 4 general ways
which can be executed in connection to portrait photography.
They can roughly be listed as
1 -
The constructionist
2 -
The environmental
3 -
The candid shooter
4 -
The creative execution.
Each of them has been widely implemented through history in various
ways; all with a different slant to the technical,
the artistic way; however the social context it extremely important
to take into consideration as well.
Personally I use the direct
approach and 90% of the time I work with available light only.
