Portraits

I love portraits. I believe, a good portrait is one which captures a person's soul in a frame.  Taking a portrait is not only about the right light, the right composition and the right camera setting , it's also about being connected to your subject where you can really see them for who they are at that moment and are able to capture their essence. To be able to do that, indeed , is magical.




"Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long?as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long?as there is hope, there is joy in living." Anonymous 



The word "miss" is so wistful. As is the word "wistful," for that matter. They both have sighs embedded in them, that "iss" sound. Which also sounds like if.” - Joan Wickersham




“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.” -― Fyodor Dostoyevsky
