My favorite photo
to take is of a person. Landscape photography is gorgeous, yes, but to me,
there is nothing as great as to see inside your subject and capture it in the
camera.
Lipton Jayawickrama
and I are such a good team when we take portraits. Sometimes he sees the best
light, sometimes I do. Sometimes he can get the subject in the right mood,
sometimes I do. I have a trick to bring out the inner secrets of my subjects.
And only they know what that ‘trick’ is. I learned it from my voice coach when
I was performing my poetry. He made me dig deep, deep, deep and be okay with
showing it to him. Not all people are prepared to dig deep, especially for a
photo shoot, but somehow I can make it happen. So can Lipton; but he has his
own technique.
Sometimes it’s just
a natural connection between photographer and subject. And trust. It’s magic.
That’s what I love
about portrait photography.
Here are some of
Lipton and my portraits. Enjoy!
