Thought I’ve never considered myself a portrait photographer, I love photographing people. Fortunately, the times I’ve been asked to do something like a portrait, I’ve had the freedom to keep out of a studio and capture folks where they belong and feel like themselves.
Still, my favorite way to get people pictures is by lurking in the background and capturing candid images. Candid, according to the Oxford Dictionary means “truthful and straightforward; frank” and I try to stay true to that. It can take a long time to get to know someone, but that first impression you get from an initial glance can stay with you.
