Portraits
Several weeks back now I got to put on my photographers hat and help Deborah Robson update her publications packet with new author photos. So with DH in tow to helpfully carry equipment and perhaps help hold reflectors we headed out to one of my favorite places to take photographs in the area.
I am not really a portrait photographer who gives much direction. I’ll jump in a fix a stray hair or right a wonky necklace, but mostly I prefer to capture the natural expressions with natural head positions and such. That isn’t quite what most people are going for with author photos, but Deb was looking for something kind of casual.
That said, I think my absolute favorite is totally inappropriate and I won’t show it here in case that is Deb’s least favorite, but it captured “her” so well. But here are my other four favorites. I’m sure you can’t guess which of these four is my next favorite, LOL! Though it wouldn’t be appropriate for author photos in most instances. If for no other reason than the size of them, but it also slightly blurred due to the action of the shot in combination with the overcast skies.
