Curiosity, not telling the whole story, can be a nice part that you can play with as a photographer.

With this I give the viewer the opportunity to complete the story myself.

Photography is not always about what people see, but you can also play with the feeling of the viewer. An easy way to achieve this is to ask the person standing in front of the camera to let go of contact with the camera, there is a chance that the person will stare, but it is important to be a real model look somewhere and see something. If the model has contact with something, you will see that in the photo.

Paige's booth portrait

Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.
