I regularly engage in portraiture, mostly because I like this type of photography. Nothing is more humanistic than having people as the subject of an image. These pictures can reveal many human conditions captured in a single image. I have never believed that people’s personalities may be portrayed in a portrait photograph. Photography offers too much ambiguity to suggest that a ‘personality’ may be revealed, not to mention the concepts of personality themselves are very complex. However, several messages through pose, action, expression, props, gaze and symbolism are tools within the image that can tell a story or produce ideas about the person’s life and experiences. I enjoy interacting with sitters during a portrait photo shoot, and the opportunity to meet interesting people is fabulous. This gallery is a selection of portraits I have taken over the years.
