This portrait is very special to me.
It is a portrait of a very good friend of mine. Late last year, he decided to move halfway across the world in search of new opportunities. Before he left, I did a corporate shoot for him so that he has some formal images. This shot was taken between poses. Ever the joker, he was saying something silly and laughing about it and I managed to snap one off.
Two months ago, I received news that he passed away from a heart attack. Apparently, he had an undiagnosed genetic condition.
That is why this image is special to me. I don't care if it doesn't look official enough or if the focus is not millimeter perfect. It captured him the way I remember him. A very happy person who is never short of a smile.
Godspeed.
Thank you very much Bill, you're too kind Best,Gorgeous Vieri! I'm envious!.

Storforsen ?Thanks cerett, very kind of you to say!
Here's another at the risk of boring people, this time with my trusty £150 55mm, this is closer to what I was looking to try, I really wanted a dark and ominously cloudy day so I could have the girl glow a little in her dress if that makes sense but the weather didn't play ball so as it was just for a bit of fun, I took some random shots anyway. Those of a technical lean will balk at the dreadful corners, lack of dynamic range, average sharpness and general lack of perfection of these shots but I am ok with that!
