NYC Analog Portraits

So, I’m walking down Broadway in SoHo minding my own business when I happened to look up to see this beautiful cocoa brown woman walking my way.

I basically jumped in front of her & asked to photograph her.

Her hair was great, her skin was great, her make up was like totally perfect; almost too perfect considering how hot it was on this day.

While I was photographing her, she explained to me that she had JUST finished a photo shoot with a clothing designer.  I mean, talk about timing!

This image happens to be one of my favorite from the street portraits that I captured on this trip.

What I love about this photo are her eyes & glossy cassis lips.  The effect over her eyes actually occurred in the camera & was not part of my digital processing workflow.

The same thing occurred in another photo that I took in a portrait composition. I think I may avoid doing portrait comps with this camera although I got lucky a few times with interesting & random results.
