I don’t usually take a lot of portraits in my photography but I have compiled a gallery here of some that I have taken in a variety of countries during my travels. Each one of these brings back special memories of a place and a time with some wonderfully interesting and rich characters I have met during my travels.
A portrait is a very personal reflection of a person and will exhibit the subject’s character and personality, reflect the mood or highlight their life story just by their look into the lens of your camera and the way in which you, the photographer, have engaged them.
