.... having coffee in bed, in midtown Manhattan with a view of the Empire State Building, and your very nice portraits! Totally wowed by the beauty and charm of the model, the glow of urban settings, and overall joy. Truly delighted by these photos. I have my Leica D-Luxe 109 and I will head out soon to take some “urban photos” as well. Thank you for the inspiration!

A day in the life of a photographer.

Not that I consider myself one, I just enjoy taking photos as a hobby and am under no pressure to deliver - the result is not the priority but the experience is. Whether they are holiday snaps, landscape, street or portraits, I like to immortalise that sc...  

Good work

I am not a photographer, and you made good pictures of a pretty woman with no watch on her wrist. Why do she not wear a Bvlgari, Rolex, or Vacheron Constantin? I made pictures of watches (see below) with my Apple iPhone. Pictures must be pure without any ...  

A Canon Eos in my hands

I shame. I have a Canon Eos, which i can take any moment. But i am to laizy. I miss wifi and bluetooth for quick data transponding, and to many possibilities on the camera that make me confused. I am more a grap snap photographer. ...  

Thank you my friend.

You are so kind with your praise. A technically perfect photo means nothing with substance. HK is going through a crisis right now. Hopefully, good sense will prevail eventually.

Hard to choose between color and b&w... In this case, maybe I choose color ; ) Great series and looks like a fun time with Anna... I like her attention to detail. Any surprises or major lesson-learned during this time? Casey

Thanks for your reply Casey. I was 50/50 on that particular photo.

Actually, it went very smoothly and I'm glad I took two cameras with different focal lengths : 28 & 50mm which basically covered everything I wanted to do in the shoot. In good light next time, I would probably stop down to F8 and above and zone focus mor... 

at one point I did some casual portraits in the park on request...

Thank you. Yes HK. [nt]

and you can convey the message that I am still free....just in case....😽

The handling of the lighting on her face is very well done in most of the shots.... [nt]

I would toss a couple of them but most are very nice. In a couple she looks starey eyed meaning she held the look too long and he eyes got funky. Sometimes it's just beneficial when you see a shot you like to set the shot and get them to look away then ba... 

Thank you for the CC . Very much appreciated.

I always welcome constructive criticism. Only way to learn. On some of the shots, especially the indoor ones, the available lighting was very challenging and I agree that lighting aids would have helped immensely. It was initially planned as an outdoor sh... 

Well done!

That's fun
