Personality

Personality. That seems to be the thing that’s the most difficult to capture in a photo. Actually, I maybe should say that it’s what most difficult to capture in my photos.

It’s almost like taking portraits is kinda cheating, because you get to “use” the subject’s personality. But at the same time, there are some really wonderful portrait photos out there, that show both personality from the subject and great skill in capturing that moment.

On the other hand, maybe you can learn how to develop and capture that personality through photos… Like design work – when learning the craft of it, maybe it’s a case of experimenting until your own particular feel starts coming through….

Anyhow, here’s a picture. :)

Sara Mitra at the National Theatre in London. Great singer, with a lot of personality, a nice relaxed vocal style…. I think she’s heading for big things.
