Feeling
That's the trick. If you can look at a picture of someone you don't know and get a sense of feeling, it becomes a unique image.
Easier Said than Done
We're only human. Put a lens or a mirror in front of us and we change.
I think the trick to a unique image is a sense of empathy with the subject. That's not always so easy. The way I've found to get there is centered in my process.
I like to get to know my clients a little at the consultation. That way the session can become a conversation. As much as I love to hear my own voice ☺, it's all by design.
I'll try to take you away from the camera so that you can focus on things that are more meaningful. If all goes well, we'll make photographs with natural feeling in your expressions. Then we've got something unique.
