Real

This is my best friend and model Allen. We have had multiple photo sessions together, but this particular session was a little different. You see my friend is going through some problems at the moment nothing he can't handle, but the camera can't lie. The camera has a way of looking inside, and revealing the true thoughts and emotions of a subject. The session lasted for about 15 min, Allen had some prior engagements to attend to. This time I was shooting with a tripod and a remote shutter release its a way of making your subject more comfortable because you don't have a camera blocking your face. So as we were talking about his situation I captured this photo, and I feel it gave so much emotion in a subtle way. As a portrait photographer I feed off true and real emotion, being able to portray real emotion through a photo is the greatest feeling for a portrait photographer. Thanks Allen.
