About 2 weeks ago I put a post up on social media stating that I am looking for subjects to photograph. I go in to detail about the I Need blog post but to summarise I need to Get Off My Ass and make portraits. #GOYA

This is Sarah who very kindly stepped up to let me photograph her. I kept things real simple and took it back to basics with simple lighting setups so more time could be spent talking.

During the shoot we talked about life, losses and what we have been up-to, plans for the future. It was great. Thank you Sarah.

I have shot a fair few portraits in my time and every so often you get a moment or a look in a portrait that just speaks to you. There is something in Sarah's eyes that draw me in to the image above. Emotion, life stories, something. that's hard to put a finger on.... sometimes it's drawn out of a subject and others it just happens as a result of something said.

Man I really need to do this more often. Keep it simple and talk more, listen more, learn more.

The edits from these shoots will be small in terms of number of images and I will only post 1-2 from each shoot on the blog and social media to focus on the stronger images.

If you would like to help out and be photographed you can find out how here.

To Sarah...

Thank you for your time, what you shared and for being you. My Door is always open.
