projects - Portraits

I love portraits. Getting the right one however, is difficult.

I normally try to get candid photos of my friends and family, but it's hard when I'm stood in front of them with a huge camera! Some off them come off by accident, some of them are staged (shock horror) and some of them just happen the way I wanted to. The portrait gallery above all come from my latest snowboarding trip to Serre Chevalier (with some extra on the end) but if you want to see all of them check out my Flickr set.

I need to continue in my quest for portraits but it's always hard to convince people to a) let me take photos of them and b) look natural. Any tips from any photographers are welcome!
