reading the article about Manjari Sharma really infulenced me and gave me more of an understanding on how a portrait should look as far as the qualities of a good portrait. how she always makes a connnection with whoever shes photo shooting at the time ,even with them being a compelte stranger to her. she makes them feel comfortable, and not in a awkward situtation. And in the picture you can see the emotions and the connection made in their facial expressions. you can really see the difference in the photo ,and can tell its not just some snap shot. And reading about her made me realize that I have been missing some big chunks in taking portraits of people I'm shooting ,to make it have that million dollar look to it. And this picture is an example of one of the pictures that inspired me. its has emotion to it.
