It’s hard to say why I like Portrait Photography beyond any other form.

I mean, I understand why - but as always it’s hard to put feelings into words. Ultimately I think it’s because in the grand scheme of time we are here for such a short period compared to everything else on earth that it makes more sense to produce images of ourselves. Portraits can convey feeling, mood, honesty - emotion in general.

Don’t get me wrong - some landscape photographs are beautiful. But to me, even the most gorgeous landscape could most times be made even better by including someone in it.

An analogy I could draw is that it’s akin to choosing to take a photograph of a dandelion instead of the ultra rare extinct butterfly that is sitting on it.

But hell, I’m crazy anyway. What are you listening to me for?
