I’m not sure about other people but the moment I open a website and I hear a music that automatically starts and cannot be stopped, I just close the window and don’t care about the content anymore. Many people do that too. If you want my advice, remove the song.

unfortunatelly, photography in Europe is in a very dark and small corner compared to the US.

depends on a few things, the 85 is pretty compressed, so I do mostly headshots with that. If I want to get more of the scene, and get a feel for where she is, I use the 35, because it still has a shallow DOF, but has a wide view. and the 50 is the compromise.

Great question! I haven’t shot any guys since I started having them walk, but I would probably go hands in front or back pockets.

No ND filters! I just crank to a super high shutterspeed, around 1/4000 or 1/8000 if necessary to keep the aperture wide open.

I really like the photos. The compositions are fantastic. How do you typically direct your male clients to walk?
