Thread: Color portraits and or photographs of people

As a lecturer in a vocational college in the UK, I get to take a lot of portraits for our students portfolios, whether it be performing arts, hairdressers or beauty technicians... its an awful job but someone has to do it...

Javier, #2 and #3 fantastic. What a great pose in #3. Did she take your picture?

Lost in Thought


LX3 ISO80 f3.2 1/640 12.8

E-PL1 and kit lens, ISO 1600. I really missed a fast prime here

Intense, that baby (of yours?) portrait has a old time kind of 1950s feel to it, to me. Probably because I was born in the mid 50's and it reminds me of our family photos. I don't think you need to bemoan the fast prime at all!

For me, it's #1 of yours Javier because of your personal engagement with the happy and pleased lady and her obvious infatuation with her little dog - a Pomeranian, if I'm not mistaken. It's a classic of the dog owner and her "baby"!

Mal, somehow me thinks though protests too much about the labor of taking those shots - looks to me as though you enjoyed each one!

Olli, lovely quiet moment you caught of that young academic with the afternoon light.

Thank you
Actually, it was quite funny that one. I remember it well because as I was walking away, she caught up to me and snapped one of me. That has actually happened allot. :)

Thank you. I rarely if ever post ''posed'' street shots, but that one I like. In fact I have a rather large collection of folks with their dogs. It is true that they begin to look alike after a while. lol

This is the picture I showed here, but in color:


Olympus E-P1, 17mm @ f/4.5, 1/250, ISO 200

I like the color version better :)
