A few portraits taken over the summer. Most are taken with the 24–70mm f2.8, which has come to be my main portrait lens, instead of a prime like the 50mm. I find that I can take advantage of the wide end of the lens to come up with some interesting distortion, such as the first one that really brings out Bronwen’s eyes. Unfortunately, it’s so heavy that it’s difficult to hand-hold steadily, so most pictures are taken with bright ambient light or a flash.

Very nice portrait shots - I always like seeing your work posted here. The lighting on the first shot is very interesting. :)

Thanks Nick, I’m still waiting to see more of your pictures on your site. You should update more than once a season, heh.

Yea… I know :| I think I only update when I’m snowboarding ;)

Yes you do! However, I’m not any better.
