With these portraits I took a risk and used natural lighting however I think using natural light wasn’t that bad. I have never felt comfortable taking portraits and I think it shows in my work and that’s why I think it is not at the best quality I could have done. I think I could have used other lighting and maybe a reflector. If I were to do this again, I think I could have tried to have the same background for all the photo’s.

The route I went down was what the subject was comfortable with. It’s weird that we have become a society where our first thought when we see a camera is to smile and it is what we feel comfortable doing. Some people don’t feel comfortable in front of a camera non stop however they will still smile. I used my own Nikon camera to take these photos and as it still does a good job, I think if I do it again, I would have borrowed a Canon and tried to do them properly but when I first started to take these, I didn’t have much of an idea in mind that’s why I didn’t take a camera out in the first place.
