I really enjoyed this portrait session in Fremantle. I often find that with couples they really enjoy how I make the portrait session experience lots of fun, we just have a chat and walk around the streets and pause for shots along the way. It’s a great job and I love meeting new people. At a certain point of the session everyone is just having fun, the self conscious barriers are now down and the portraits are “real”.
A good photographer can use composition and light to create visually pleasing photographs. A great portrait photographer can do all of this and also reveal the characters of those people that they photograph. This is what makes great portraits or “real” portraits. I feel that they are timeless because they are honest.
When I pick up a camera, I want to deliver “real” portraits. There is no better feeling than when you have achieved this as a portrait photographer.
