ngarud, i still have a lot of experimentation to do and these will definitely guide me next time.

re the cory cortege portraits, i’m not very concerned about what they are carrying. what is important for me are there expression when the remains passed.

sidney, i seem to like the incomplete form of the adults at the background and it was intentional. it is that instance when the child is being goaded by the parent to look at the camera but the expression of the subject is still confused

for the diptychs, these are more studies: whole body shot tries to portray the subject as is, his background or even kind of work/recreation/etc. and the close up of the face is to look more into his essence as a person.

Like you i have the same concern when shooting portraits. Thanks for posting this article and I definitely like the photos in the Cory’s cortege passed. I noticed that most of the people there are holding their cp. Would you say that that is one way of structuring a series of portraits? or would that be a bad way. I will surely follow your blogs. thanks!!!

For me the diptychs don’t work… it is difficult for the viewer to focus at two faces at the same time…

Your children portraits are good but the adult you see behind is annoying.
