One of the areas of photography that I want to improve on is portraiture. Being able to capture someone’s likeness, their personality, their soul, is such a powerful tool. And in so many situations I consistently fail to achieve the look I was going for in my head. Inspired by Willem Verbeeck’s idea of a… Continue reading Open Sauce Maker Portraits: A Photography Self Project
