Who, Me? by More Altitude

Who, Me?

A little girl in a dusty hamlet on a hilltop in rural Guatemala. I'm not entirely sure, but this may be my favourite among all the portraits I have taken.

More portraiture, landscapes and travel stories can be found on my website here.

See this shot on black.

Remarkables by More Altitude

Remarkables

I took this shot on the edge of the Remarkables Ranges in southern-central South Australia a couple of years back. Ash and I had been driving around loving the canola/rapeseed in full bloom in the sunlight, and looking for a good place to stop and take photos. We tried a few different locations and were generally pretty pleased with the results.

This was my favourite from the set- and remains one of my favourite shots. The contrast between blue and yellow, the textures in the tree-bark, the speckled sky, the balance in composition between the elements... The one thing I would have seen differently (had it been possible) is the concrete fence-post, which I wish was wooden. At any rate, I hope you like it as well.

I have more photos (including ones that don't make it to flickr) on my website, which also includes travel stories and some verbage on photography as well for those who are interested- please do swing past for a look.

See this shot larger and framed against black here to make the most of those bright colours.

A rose-bud unfurls as a cool misty morning dawns in the hill-country of Thailand's serene north-west.

In an Angkor Window by More Altitude

In an Angkor Window

Boys sit in the early-morning sunlight in the frame of a window in a temple ruin at Angkor Wat. Low light makes for a different sort of portraiture. It can be harsh, contrasty, and cast lots of shadow. If you're taking a photograph of somebody you like, it's not necessarily the best time of day- often a slightly overcast day is better, where shadows and sharp sun angles don't leave lots of relief lines on the features you're trying to capture. However for this sort of shot, it adds considerable interest, and because their faces are expressive and bold, the shadow actually accents the shape their faces are taking, emphasising the emotions. I was really pleased how this shot came together, and though I don't normally do a lot of early-light portraiture, it's one to remember for next time.

More words and pictures on my website.
