In the past when asked if I was a professional photographer I responded with the statement, “Well I’ve made money with my photography by shooting weddings and portraits and selling a few framed prints. But, I do not make my living at it.” I feel differently now. When I can create an image that moves me and someone else then I feel I’m more than just a photographer. I’ve moved into a newer stage of my photographic adventure. Maybe that’s professional, I’m not sure only time will tell. As I develop my photographic eye and practice my skills, I’ve begun to see portraits with newer eyes. I see how important it is to bring out the personality of the person, showing both their outward and inward beauty. Hopefully, I’ve accomplished that in this image.
