Anyway. Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE the lens I've been using for portraits? It's an 85mm stationary lens with a 1.8 f/stop. Which will only mean anything to fellow nerdy photographers...for those who don't speak camera, it means that this particular lens will focus nicely on my subject, but blur the background beautifully. I love it, especially when I have wonderful sunset light, like I did for these photos. You'll see what I mean. It's pretty much my favorite portrait lens EVER.
So Mark's session wasn't that long...'cause he was in a, um, "funny" mood. As in, he didn't want to smile for the camera, 'cause weird faces are so much more fun. Mmhmm. He's generally in that mood when I'm doing his photos. But it leads to highly entertaining photos (which he gave me permission to post. He actually suggested it).
But first, the normal, happy one.
See what I mean about the lens??? =D
And, as you see, the normal smiles don't last long. These are his real faces.
I get them a lot.
And this is his real happy face. The other one is fine, but it's kind of a camera smile. This is when he's laughing. I like this one better (but I was overruled by my parents for his official one. Apparently he looks "too happy" in this one. Really. That's what they said).
Another happy one...also showing the amazingness of my lens.... LOVE!
More goofing off...he loudly proclaims his desire to get his session over with, but then prolongs it with innumerable unnecessary faces...
And this is his absolute favorite face. He discovered it a while ago, during a different portrait session, and it made me laugh. And he brings it out every year for me...yep. He's still lobbying for it to make it into one of his official portraits. Hasn't happened yet. =)
