like the thought in her face …feeels very cinematic

This is really beautiful. I love the tones and the expression on her face. Very nice capture!

Wow, this is great! So many portraits end up looking staged, but there is something very human and natural about this photo… The sepia works really well here, too! Nice, thought-provoking image!

beautiful portrait, I love it!

love the sepia tones – beautiful natural looking shot!

super sepia work…

great lighting in this one

great shot

Congrats, Matt…well done!

theres something about this I really like. the contrast is great, her expression, it’s all good.

Perfect capture

nice work. good use of natural light

lovely shot

masterpiece!

Superb portrait

beautiful

great portrait.

I agree this is a masterpiece.

classic portrait – with a modern twist amidst some lovely clothing textures! Great opportunistic portrait.

love the expression you caught which matches the rather dark and moody leather and that classy scarf.. she’s a star, obviously, and a genuinely top notch portrait of her

Great photograph, I much prefer taking photographs of people when they don’t know it. Many people think they have to pose to look their best but often they look most beautiful when they are natural. I love the tones you’ve given this too.

Beautiful portrait, love the tones and light

This is one stunning portrait Matt! I love the textures and tones…a truly wonderful shot! You have to be proud of this….it’s gorgeous!

I think that’s what makes this such a wonderful image…unposed and completely natural. Do more of these!!

Great capture here Matt!!!

Awesome portrait and fantastic tones and focus.

supe rportrait shot!

You’re so right…people change the second the camera comes up…
Kudos on a great real emotion shot!!

excellent matt …. really nice portrait

Very well captured!

wonderful, natural shot – you have a good eye!

Thank u very bumble on your comment.. :-)

Lovely story telling capture!

this is one of the better candids i’ve seen… just tops!

Wow she really id gorgeous and another fantastic shot of her, great work!!

What a brilliant candid. Top drawer stuff, Matt.

Congrats and good luck for your big day, Friend.

Don’t forget your camera!

Really emotive image….love the tones..

excellent shot, congrats

don’t know how I missed this Matt! beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great shot! Love the emotion in her face! Nice work! Mekea :)

Great shot!!! I wonder what is she thinking…

completely agree. people look great when they dont know they are being photographed. yet, being good looking also helps

nice detail as well as relaxed expression. I like the dark at the top and the lights on the hair

Good job…nice combination of auras here; reminiscent of a fashion shot, but it too has a photojournalist appeal. Like it.

The lighting and tones are great, but the girls expression is just perfect!
Fantastic work Matt.

LOVE IT! and the spontaneity!

:)

Great photo congratulations this one is especially GOOD !

cool candid shot!

i have to agree Matt not knowing they are being photographed is the only way to truly capture how they are feeling and what they are thinking. the next best thing is a setting in which they are comfortable and their personalities immerge… just my two cents lol. well done this is a beautiful candid

Beautiful portrait! Lovely expression. Congrats on your well deserved feature!

excellent portrait

Beautiful candid Matt. I’m afraid i don’t have the confidence to take pics of strangers. Bravo to you

perfect capture

Superb, really like the emotions showing in this portrait

wonderful candid shot, your toning adds so much in creating a thought provoking mood to the image

I would love to be able to do more candid photography. Unfortunately my hulking 1ds Mark II with a 35-350mm zoom lens doesn’t really allow this to happen. =/ I think I need to invest in a Leica for street photography or something. Regardless, this is a wonderful photograph. I love the muted tones, both in color and her expression. Excellent work Matt!

Excellent portrait, and the toning works very well.

Fantastic candid shot, Matt!

Well.. no every day is not a bowl of cherries…!! beautiful shot! congrats!

Brilliant!! You’ve captured this moment so well Matt. I totally agree with what you say about this being the best way to get an expression out of someone!

Candid photography is what I’m most fascinated about myself and I would love to explore this area further. It’s incredible the stories people can reveal behind their masks! Do you know what I mean?

Wow! It’s not only the expression on his face, but his body language as well. Great work Matt!

Oh…also what looks like scars on his legs and his work boots reveal even more about his story. Or what one can imagine is his story.

Very nice position and toning :)

Love this candid style!!

Beautiful capture-

really like this matt, and I 100% agree
“I think not knowing you’re being photographed is the best way to get an expression out of someone.”

More great work from you Matt x

excellent.
