| George was my favourite of the group. I processed him in a gritty way to emphasize his well worn and well earned features. |

| This smile is a winner! |

| This is the lady who makes those delicious tea biscuits. She wasn't totally into the photographic thing, but she did her best to cooperate with my request. |
I really like the first shot.
ReplyDeleteAuthentic faces are far more compelling (IMHO) for portrait shots than carefully coifed, made-up, and posed photos. These are faces of real people. Some of the most-noteworthy (i.e. famous) photographers specialized in getting "real shots of real people."
ReplyDeleteWell-done, AC.
You really captured the feel of a farmers' market.
ReplyDeleteI think you did well with the portraits- I like them all. The first guy is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYes, and too perhaps a pinch more contrast.
ReplyDeleteLove them all especially George!

George is especially wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like that top picture more and more, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteThe first image is my favourite. GREAT job!
ReplyDeleteGreat lighting! You do great portrait shots. And, yes, George.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the local farmers market today and I didn't bring along a camera, but most likely would not have used it as I was shopping the various stalls for our weekly veggies & fruits. That said, I did appreciate that you took the time to photograph some of the vendors at your market, John.
