I haven't been spending much time with my camera lately. Lots of things competing for my attention and I have been busy in other things.
During and after my recent portrait session I realized how little I know about posing a model and how I need to learn more techniques. My lighting techniques have proved pretty effective and improving my posing should really help my portrait quality.
Instead of taking photos, among other things, I've been reading a lot more. Both for a technical writing class I'm undertaking as well as photography techniques. I've also been reading up on body language, and what a fascinating, complex subject it is. Hopefully having a better understanding of body language will help with my portrait photography. It certainly explains why some photos have a stronger attraction or emotive response than others.
I certainly have every intention of picking up my camera again but also plan on continuing my (mixed) reading as it all adds into who I am and also into my photography.
