Almost everything I show here on SaltSpringPhotos.com has little or nothing to do with what I do day-to-day. So here’s a tiny glimpse of the commercial side of what I do. Donald came to the studio looking for a business portrait, one where he would look competent and approachable. He wanted a dark background for his new website and liked photos with lots of negative space. I think we nailed it.
OK, that’s enough of that, I’m taking you back into the mountains tomorrow. Dress well, it’s wet up there.
Gorgeous photo, Donald! So fun to wake up and see your smiling face. Good luck with your new website. John, you did a magnificent job capturing Donald’s being.
Thank you Tamar. Portrait making is a combined effort between client and photographer.
Thank you John you made it easy and fun !
Well, thanks Donald. But as I said in the comment above. It takes two to create a portrait :-)
An excellent portrait shot!
Thanks!
Hi John,
Nice job with the rule of thirds (a bit of a favourite tech for me too).
Very calm, easy going portrait & he’s cute too ;)
Cheers Natascha :D
Thanks Natascha.
Funny rule/guideline that…sometimes it just naturally happens. I think it’s something we innately see without even knowing or thinking about the ‘rule’.
