Summer Portraits

Had the pleasure of shooting this model at sunrise at South Beach.  She is a natural and required minimal direction.  The photos speak for themselves.

I find street photography very rewarding.  It suits my personality.  I enjoy breaking the "stranger" barrier and street photography provides that challenge. There is an exchange between photographer and stranger that occurs sometimes in a matter of moments.  And it feels like there is always a bit of me in each capture.  It is in the gaze, the posture, the intimacy that is achieved in those few minutes.  

When there is a group, the dynamics shift and the challenge sometimes is a matter of how well that group relates.  

In the end, I am always pleased and grateful for those moments of magic.   Sometimes the photographs are secondary to the experience.
