I was looking through some of my old photos the other day and came across this portrait I did of my friend swinging. I remember shooting this, it was my very first portrait shoot and I had no idea what I was doing, but my model was patient and helped give me ideas for shots and really just kinda owned the moment. Which is good I don't really enjoy having to pose people in a very specific way. Personally it doesn't look natural. After shooting with many different models I have become at ease with giving direction on the image I wanting and what I would like them to do. Just like everything else it just takes practice and time. The more you do it the more comfortable you are with telling the person you're taking the pictures of how to place their hands, move their chin down, etc... I'm glad I found these old photos it really reminds me just how far I have come in my photography.
