Over the last couple of years I have tried to find my own method/style to photographing people. Sometimes I try to pose the subject, other times I shoot for the more reportage/candid approach. Anyway, I still have a long way to go and a lot of lessons to learn - but I thought I would share some of my favourite shots in this category.
This first shot is of a little boy who fished in the ocean outside our villa when we were on honeymoon. He was very proud of his catches and would come to our veranda to display the fish he was taking home for his supper. I really like this shot because it has the silhouette that I wanted, but also retains some of the colour of the situation.

This next picture was also from our honeymoon. It was taken at the end of our wedding day as we were enjoying some wine on our veranda. I posed Áine for this shot and I was quite happy with my first attempt at 'photographer direction'. I added a little soft blur to the edges to emphasise Áine.
The next picture was a lucky shot. This is our friend Sara, who at the time of the photograph was dancing at a wedding. I was really pleased with this shot, especially as my flash had been firing randomly all night. For this picture the flash worked and the lighting was just right, Sara's smile and eyes are visible and the picture has (in my opinion) a warm feel to it.
Lastly, this is a candid shot of our friend Cherry. She was concentrating so hard to get the roof to stay on her gingerbread house that she was completely oblivious to me getting the camera out and framing the shot.
