Day Dreaming on the Beach

MODEL:  Monica

KIT:  Nikon D300, Nikkor AF ED 80-200mm F2.8D lens @ f/2.8, natural light 

I specialize in candid photography because I like to make portraits like the one above.  Yes this is a model on an actual photo shoot, but this was during one of her moments not to be "on."  She was just relaxing between poses staring out at the Gulf of Mexico.  When I look at this photograph I wonder what she is thinking of, or who she is thinking of?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.

If you would like your candid portrait made in this style, you can make a reservation with this form.  Pricing can be found on the portrait gallery page.

Free iPhone Wallpaper Monday: Find Yourself at the Beach

in ,

Start your work week off with a free new wallpaper for your iPhone or iPod touch!

This portrait photograph was a complete candid shot.  I was photographing the boy's whole family when I noticed he went off by himself.  From afar I noticed the reflection and using my Nikkor AF ED 80-200mm F2.8D lens I was able to make this photograph without him noticing me.  This image is in my top five photographs ever taken and is a perfect example of the candid style of photography I specialize in.
