Cropping to change mood, attention or perspective

Want to completely change the mood, refocus attention or perspective within your photograph? Try cropping in tightly. Near 100% crop to highlight the gull here.

Truth be known, although it is the same gull as in the taking flight picture, I did not notice its presence until post processing.

In praise of the mature model

There is something I love about a mature woman. Their sense of presence, their no bullshit approach to life in general and men in particular.

Diane was simply a joy to work with yesterday. A classy lady with ideas about classic poses. Her eyes shared a lifetime of glances, sultry come-ons and femaleness in just the couple of hours we worked together.

See the rest of the session with her daughter here.
