Only portrait I have so far is a self-portrait (will have to suffice for my first ever post)

It's funny, I do not notice these pairings of colour and things like that as I am colourblind.
Also funny, is how although the image projects a sadness, the truth is my Aunty and Uncle pictured were not at all sad to lose my Grandmother.
I am happy that my picture tells a story so different to the truth, and I think it shows the real story telling power of photography I guess, whether it be fiction or truth.

Thank you again for the praise and constructive criticism.

Joe, I have often found, that the photographer sees a story and his images very different from the audience - making this all so interesting.
This is not mathematics after all, but a creative process with entirely individual human responses.

I like the Maori ;-)

@Mark
Mark - this first portrait is extremely strong! I really like this.

@orimage
Interesting couple, but what is she thinking ? ;-)

I have quite a few portraits in my second youtube slideshow here:

Load the 1080p high quality stream, crank the volume up (promise, no annoying music ;-) and watch in full screen!
