Portraits

" When taking portraits I feel duty bound to try and capture the essence of whoever is in front of my camera... and then turn everything on its head to hopefully discover a side that is possibly not so frequently seen. Incredibly, despite many of the people coming from performance-based backgrounds, it's not always as easy as you might think, but having quickly learned that the end results will only ever be as good as the rapport between the photographer and the subject, creating an atmosphere in which the person feels comfortable and relaxed is often the most important aspect of the entire shoot.
