The Crafty and the Quick
- Two Pastel Portraits -
There are countless ways a photographer can execute a portrait. Sometimes, one can afford to be very deliberate about it, given the luxury of time, can create a well-crafted, choreographed interpretation or, in some cases - given different circumstances, have to simply manage, within a limited window of time, "quick hurried snaps" [for lack of a better description], sometimes even haphazard shots, when "you've-got-one-chance-only-so-make-it-quick" photo opportunities arise. In the latter scenario, one's "photographic smarts" [or the absence of it] can make the difference between a wasted opp or otherwise.
This post features 2 portraits - each taken under very contrasting scenarios. Despite the differences I am about to point out - I'll NEVER consider one portait better or worse than the other. All I can state is I did my best under the circumstances, and I'm pleased with the results. Let me share.
