#1 - Portraits
This process was one I was not particularly familiar with as my time shooting outside is mostly made up of event based documentary and journalism work which means I don’t end up interacting with subjects in the same way you do when shooting portraits one on one. also not having the same level of control as you would in the studio means that it is harder to position subjects in the exact way I wanted to. Flash helped somewhat here however it was still an interesting experience.
