I like to do fashion, street, budoir. People have always been my favorite subject. I spent most of the time I dedicate to this hobby of mine making photographs of persons. I like directed and spontaneous shots, in my experience, some persons, specially when they come in couples, need to be directed, while others are great at being themselves, so to speak. I like to be in the studio, where things are under your control, but I also like to go outdoors and get some real colors. My wife is a social photographer so I get to work as a ‘second photographer’ from time to time, that has been very helpful to my photography and social skills. I used to be a blast at parties. =)
However, I wish I could do street more often. If only I could learn to handle the fear that grips me as soon as I aim my camera at a complete stranger, maybe I could get a half-decent shot. I’m working on it. I grab a camera, take the bus/subway, hit downtown, get back home eight hours later empty-handed. At least all that walking is good for my health, or so they say.
