MJ Kov, Pointing Portrait

MJ Kov, Pointing Portrait This will be the last portrait from last months trail in studio photo shoot. Plans were to have much more regular opportunity for me to practice taking pictures of people but with University coursework deadlines and Christmas holiday it has been a little too busy to organise people (not Kov's fault by the way, more my fault).

Kov is the model above and while not a professional model or very interested in modeling (he is a photographer friend of mine), he does make for a very different look of portrait image because of the unique clothes he wears and the fantastic expressions. I find that when I am photographing people it is one of the hardest types of photography because models are not still objects and unless you can relax them and make them very comfortable it is almost impossible to get a lovely relaxed expression as I somehow have managed here.
