Into the Light


First day of portrait photography. General intro to the subject and lots of discussion. Different exercises in terms of composition, use of different light sources, getting to know each other, portraits of each other, and group shots.
"The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt." Henri Cartier-Bresson, Photography Year 1980.

  1. Love this shot - almost abstract. Love the quote too, though I would advise you not to take it literally, otherwise your model might get a bit alarmed...
