The Lovely Lillian - SeriesThe lovely Lillian - Series

Practising portraiture skills can be easy when working with a subject who is very comfortable with themselves. Lillian was one such person I was lucky enough to get in front of my lens. I found a location to photograph her and then spent only about twenty minutes one lunchtime taking one roll of pictures. As we chatted during the shoot I observed her natural movements and had her hold a pose when I caught her in a moment I thought worked well. Often with straight-forward people shooting it’s just a matter of catching the subject being themselves.

Mandy

The above portrait is of Mandy Moore, a knitting blogger I met at the Northern Voice blogging conference earlier this year. Her blog is called Yarnageddon.

I really like this picture of her. I think she looks very cute!

Laundry at sunset

Taken with my Holga 120 CFN, using cross-processed expired Fujichrome MS 100/1000. I wish Fuji still manufactured this film because I really liked the results from it.
