Patience and Portraits

Media_httpfarm4static_yeton

I love taking pictures of people. Since I don't have a lot of experience taking "posed" or "portrait" type shots of people, the challenge I keep facing is that it's hard to find people patient enough to endure a photoshoot with me. I run around trying different things, changing the lighting or the perspective or the background. People tend to want a photographer who has experience with portrait photography, but the only way to get experience is to find people patient enough to let me practice. It's a vicious circle.
