While not specifically a portrait, I am particularly fond of this shot. This is the only full-face shot taken on a day of candid "hand studies" in a class of music students. (yes, that's an electric violin.  ) I'd like to try real portrait work sometime but it seems to be such a different discipline from my usual work.
Cheers,

interesting work. I am sure you will have fun developing the skills necessary to accomplish an engaging yet descriptive portrait technique. Keep us posted as to your progress.

| I think it is a wonderful image, and I love the grain. It gives the image a certain kind of appeal, more warm and more friendly. I've got a great book at home "Photographing People: at Home and Around the World" by Andre Gallant (he works with Freeman Patterson on a lot of books these days). It is worth a look.

Thanks for the comments all. I generally find people photography somewhat intimidating. I think the fact that I had been focusing on the subject of "hands at work" brought the process more into my comfort zone. And as the musicians themselves were deeply into their zones as well, I was able to get a couple of really dynamic images that day.
Thanks again.
