Shooting people portraits comes very naturally to me. At least up until the point I'm actually getting paid to do it. I've got a tendency to stiffen up in these settings, and even get a bit frantic when things go off track. And so it was in a session I did with Katey for her senior portraits. A huge responsibility actually, the senior portrait thing. You really want to capture the essence of the person on the cusp of transitioning from high school to the rest of their life. You are quite literally creating a visual documentation that they can look back on for the rest of their life. So yeah, no pressure here.
The challenge for me in this situation is coming in stone cold, never having met the subject and knowing next to nothing about them. I've come to rely mostly on instinct while trying to steadily build rapport and put them at ease. Katey looked impossibly young when I first met her, more like a freshman than a senior. But I soon found that her facial expression had a dramatic impact on her look. The initial photos in the session revealed her girlish side. As the shoot progressed I stopped trying to get her to smile and just went with the flow. We moved on to a nature preserve for the final series. Walking along a trail I suddenly stopped in front of this field of prairie grass. The light and setting seemed perfect. Katey stepped into the scene and it all felt right. My initial nervousness vanished. I felt totally at ease and confident. I always shoot many multiples of the same pose in the knowledge that even a subtle variation in facial expression can transform a portrait. Reviewing the results later, this shot really stood out from the others. Katey had somehow transformed from from a teenager into an older version of herself. There's a sense of serenity on her face, and a lovely Mona Lisa smile that falls somewhere between serious and happy. In this moment it felt like we were in perfect sync.
The time turner appears in the Harry Potter series of books and films. It is used by Hermione initially to save time so she can double up on classes. Later, in the Prisoner of Azkaban, she and Harry use it to travel a short distance back in time (1 Hour) to save Buckbeak and Sirius Black.
The keychain is 3.5 inches long, including extended chain fob, The outer ring of the time turner is approx 1.5 inches in dia and this shot was another posibility for the Macro Monday theme "Keychain".

Sometimes when things are just getting a little too much a long drive gives me the chance to save some of the sanity I have left.

krys, photosynthesizing this past Sunday. My day started with confusion because I wasn’t aware that the time was changing (still don’t know why), but my afternoon was a clear sky full of sun and a great shoot with Krys. So many shots I’m waiting on Polaroid Week to share. It can’t come soon enough.
The road to Sanctuary of Caraça Complex, a few hours away from Belo Horizonte, this wonderful private sanctuary preserves a fascinating landscape and ecology. One road in, one road out 2 days later, could have spend a week there exploring!
