as i work with marissa's photos
yesterday, it occurred to me.......
people really DO love having
their pictures taken...really!
i think that once you get into
the swing...you get more comfortable
with the camera and the photographer.
(as long as you don't have too extensive
of an audience)....people generally get
pretty good at relaxing and letting their
soul show....i just love that!
i can almost tell when it happens too~
and that's even cooler.
there is a sense of confidence that comes
over people..like, "i can do this!"
i just shoot an shoot until i feel it.
dare i say...it's a sort of "lensgasm"...
a connection between the shooter and
the shoot-ee!
I don't mean to offend, it's just that
most folks feel nervous and it's my job
and my job alone, to get the "subject"
to settle and be themselves...
the smile becomes more genuine, the
cheek cramps go away and the eyes connect.
it's really nice to know the difference between
taking a picture of someone and taking the
time to capture the soul of someone...
through the lens of a camera.
some of you will understand...the rest will
think that i'm weird.
now, i call myself a purist so these next
two are just examples of the fun
that you CAN have with certain images......
i ordered the fong "amber~dome".
should have it by friday. it should
warm up any indoor image that you have
to shoot with at white balance of "tungsten".
sometimes these shots get pretty "cool".
and with winter coming i thought it would
be a great addition to the rest of my filters.
i'm anxious to try it out when it arrives.
congratulations jacquie!
