That is a stunning portrait. The vibrancy of colour, the way it fills the frame, the lighting giving it another dimension.
Stunning – even moe stunning that you do not fiddle about on Photoshop fantastic. I guess most is due to your know how, but just out of interest what camera do you use and what lens.
The quality of your portfolio is amazing.
Ronald Rockman replied
Hey CJ what an amazing comment, you Rock!!!!!
I was using a Leica R9 with a Summilux R 80mm f1:4 lens a perfect high quality portrait lens (film camera) I used an Agfa high colour sturation proffesional film which is no longer available. I also use a 200mm lens from Leica. My favourite digital camera is a Cannon D30 with a 27 -105mm f4 lens which is I have set to high colour saturation.

What do you do if they say no?

I have been approaching people like that since I was a teenager.

Thanks Tzigaina, aren’t you the lucky one to be living where you are, we lived
for 15 years in the bush (Bendigo). I wish we could move to a small country town
with a population of under 500 people, I would sit under a gum tree and read books and wander off with my camera and enjoy taking photographs of the fauna and flora. The ideal place for me would be in the Outback close to the ocean, preferbably in Ahrnam Land!
