While I’ve always found the process of producing a well-composed, perfectly exposed image very rewarding in itself, for some reason, the reward of creating a well-executed portrait of another human being is one of the best. From the technical aspects of composition, to color, to sharpness, lighting, and even the tone and texture of a person’s skin - capturing all of that in a portrait where it all works together has satisfied me in way that no other genre has yet. But above the technical part, above the satisfaction of getting everything right, is the reward of capturing the ‘real” person.
