I didn’t have time to finish yesterday’s story of hellish automobile disaster, so instead you get some pretty photos to look at.
This is just to prove that I am capable of portrait photography and not just pretty landscapes! (And if you haven’t bought one of my Faroese photo prints yet, why not?)
First up, one in colour:
And now a close-up of his eye, because you can see me and the reflection of his arm, which is pretty neat:
And finally, two black and whites of a kid that’s waaaay too photogenic:
Can you make out ‘Ray Ban’ on his glasses? Damn poser.
But the t-shirt makes up for it:

Since you’re capable of this, you should help me take a lot of pictures…of myself, of course. What do you think? Nothing too sexy, unless you want it. Haha.

The eye, especially because you caught the reflection, is awesome. Love it. And I totally love that kid’s tee shirt.

The black and white portrait second from the bottom is absolutely stunning!! I think you might just be THE photographer who can get my Axminster-residing friend over her dislike of having her photo taken. I would love to see some portraits of her she is such a beautiful subject even if she will never ever believe me. Great work MrS!!

I’m so glad you like them! I wasn’t sure if I still had it… it really has been a long time since I did people-photography.
The great (or bad?) thing about landscapes is you don’t have to get to know the subject first. Well, you do a little, but to get a truly great photo of a person they must be your friend — or at least comfortable.
Sometimes that takes days, weeks, months…!
I’m good at building rapport I guess…
