Is Full Sun the Best Light for Portraiture? - Los Angeles Portrait Photographer

My job as an artist is to provide the best portraiture no matter what light condition we have.  More than once, I would hear comments from clients about how a location would be great for photography because it gets "all the sun".  But let me tell you, personally, I think the best character in the "natural" backdrop comes out when the sun is not "all out". Take a look at the below image, and let me know if you agree.  This is where we can create some fine art for our clients:

P.S.  The "dude" in the image is my trusty "assistante".  When you hire me, it's included in the portrait packages to meet him. :-)

Tianzifang (田子坊), Shanghai, Where Fusion Happens - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

My photography evolves over time.  Sometimes it's the mood; sometimes it's the composition; it could be the interest of subjects and it could be the color tones (like how I recently started processing some images into black & white)...

That's why it's interesting to see my heart skip a beat when I saw this image that I made 3 years ago in Tianzifang (田子坊),  Shanghai and never had a chance to post.  I guess some things never change.  It's the longing for the reminiscent of the past, the things that show evidence of age, the things that we "modern" people demolish and so-ever-clumsily try to reconstruct with no success ...

Yes, heart is a tricky place to reach, let alone understand completely.  And yet, I choose to listen to my heart.

I Tip-Toed My Way Across the Surface of the Water - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

By now, you know that I have an unexplained affinity to water, right?  Right? To me, water doesn't stay in one place or in one way.  They can be calm, excited, fun, ..., roaring, hard to predict or control.  Kind of like women.  Haha...

OK, I digressed...

So, I can't oppress the urge to get up close when I saw this setting.  What would you do if you were me?  Anyway, I tip-toed my way across...

If you want to follow me along, be careful.  What seems to be real may not be. :-)
