The elusive male portrait

    500px | Blog | Facebook | Tumblr

    I'm fairly sure 95% of the people I've photographed have been female, which I don't mind most of the time, but it's a bit rough when you're looking for some balance in a portrait portfolio. Lucky for me, the guy in my couples session a few days ago was okay with my taking a few individual shots of him after we were finished with the photos of the two of them. In post-processing, I got to experiment with cold-toned, more hard-edge effects than I'd normally use on female portraits, which was also fun.
