A portrait can take many forms. It could be an actors headshot, a stolen moment on the street or even a corporate portrait. The best portraits happen when there is a moment , a silent honest connection between the photographer and the subject where pretence and distractions are stripped away and the real person is revealed. This is when the magic happens . Portraits are what I love to shoot. Kurt Fearnley after winning the Australia Day Marathon..the fire and determination still burning in his eyes.
