We’ve just finished another semester at school. Three down, one to go. This latest semester dealt with all aspects of portrait photography – fashion, glamour, lifestyle, environmental, figure studies. Also a touch of small product work to get us ready for next term. Now that we’re done, I find myself reflecting on what I’ve learned. Most importantly, I seek the answer to a very basic question: has the experience made me more interested in photographing people?

Portraits Anyone?
One of the most difficult tasks for any photographer is getting the perfect shot of a person who is staring back at you while you do it. It is so much easier to photograph a wildflower, a building, an artefact. Even what’s known as “street photography”, where unposed and candid photos of people are taken, presents less of a challenge.
