The Metropolis Building (Edificio Metropolis) on Gran Via

It draws my eye every time I walk past it.

 

Both the Metropolis Building and Gran Via are worth making the effort to see both by day and by night.

Beyond the same old studio portrait

Conventional portraits are boring. They're stressful to pose for (all that sitting and wondering if your smile looks weird), and they're boring to shoot. People are always commenting to me that they prefer candid shots, but for some reason chuck it out the window for portraits. A "photojouralistic"  portrait, where the photographer goes to the person's home (office, nearby park, etc.) and shoots them in a natural setting, acting/interacting in a natural way, tends to be more flattering and more memorable. Below are a few of my first attempts. I think it works especially well for children, who are least likely to ever be standing still.

Prints of my photos now avialable on deviantART!

I am now going to be adding some of my work to the deviantART shop, so in case buying from my smugmug powered site isn't your thing, there's another option for you. Prints, with or without frames, as well as some other specialty merchandise (i.e. cards, coasters, mousepads, puzzles) are available.
