Photo of the Week 9/7/09

I captured this image at a portrait session for a couple that recently welcomed their first child into the world. Portrait sessions are often viewed as highly staged affairs. I prefer to give little direction and simply try to capture people and their interactions as naturally as possible. I know the new father in this image quite well and feel this picture does a good job of capturing his interaction with and emotion for his young daughter.


This image was made outside using natural light on a cloudy day against a black backdrop. I used my 50mm f1.4 lens at f4.0 and 1/500th of a second exposure at an ISO of 400.
