Portrait photography

Just a very quick post from me.  Another addition to my Cornwall photography collection, taken on the same day as this location portrait shoot. I am racking up the beaches of Cornwall as backgrounds to portrait shoots really quickly.

This portrait photograph was shot in harsh sunlight on Kennack Sands beach, on the Lizard. I was after a real honest photo, capturing expression. The day had been long and I know this is not a happy face, but what a wonderful, fed up look this is – it cannot be posed!!!

The lighting is harsh, but it works wonders. I really enjoying looking at the textures in the background, but they do not distract from the portrait subject, due to the lighting which provides a nice level of separation in the image.

If you have any feed back please comment via the twitter button or the “please comment” at the top of this post. I would be delighted to get some feedback on my portrait photography.
