I thought I'd throw a few extra faces at you, for those who haven't had a look around my website yet. These portraits are something of a contrast to those shown in the previous post; that's because they are not commissioned and are purely for my own, large scale ongoing art project.
When I add to this project I tend to sleep on an idea and not try too hard to meticulously plan the shoot. This is often significantly different to the way I may approach a project that has been given to me as a commission. After letting the image of whoever I am photographing sort of marinate in the back of my mind for a while, a particular idea sticks, one that just feels better than the others, and I can see the image in my head.
Not to say that this happens every time. Sometimes you can start a portrait with an idea that you are certain will work and then end up feeling underwhelmed with it, opting for something totally different.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is, be prepared but be prepared to change.
