Walking is relaxing, good for your health and looks great in images. When you show a person walking you will never get the feeling that the image is “posed.”
Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Couple 04
Normally you would fill the frame just with the couple but sometimes you break that rule and show the two in a large background. I like this image. The red doors behind them draw a lot of attention to them. I called this image “Hanging Out Together.”
Enjoy and have a great day!
Couple 03
When you photograph a couple that is in love you need to show that relationship by bringing them close together. In this image I asked them to look straight into the the other persons eye.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Couple 02
By moving the heads of the two so close together that their noses almost touched each other I was able to show only two eyes. In combination with the two noses, two mouths this kind of portrait creates a great deal of unity.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Couple 01
This week I like you to continue with portraits but instead of photographing a single person I ask you to photograph a couple. As always enjoy this exercise!
It is the task of the photographer to create an atmosphere of trust and and relaxation to create great images. I ask the two to jump up together and I got a nice image which I gave a vintage look in post production.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Model Portrait 05
This is a different portrait of Janique. I photographed her smiling, funny attitude, her laughter and in this image I see more of her dreams and hopes.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Model Portrait 04
While we were photographing this gentleman walked by us and I asked him if he would like to be part of the photo shoot. Reluctantly he agreed but then he had a lot of fun. Janique, the model, was very good in engaging him so I got some pretty nice images.
In post production I changed the colors to increase the contrast in this image. Enjoy and keep on photographing
Model Portrait 03
Look how the model is posing in this image. She is leaning slightly forward into the camera. Her right shoulder is lower than her left shoulder. The background is blurred out through the wide open lens and still the lines are straight. Her smile is great and she looks right into the camera.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Model Portrait 02
I have seen it over and over that in the beginning of each shoot the person in front of the camera is a little bit nervous. After a while he or she gets relaxed and then the pictures are getting really good.
Enjoy this image and keep on photographing!
Model Portrait 01
Pic a person and ask him/her to be a model for an outdoor portrait shoot. This can be very challenging and a lot of fun. I met with my model before in a local cafe and we discussed the photo shoot. I also wanted to get to know her a little bit. Then we started and it was a lot of fun.
In the beginning I photographed her walking down the street. I got a lot of nice shots and this on I like to share.
Enjoy and have fun with this exercise!
