I like this portrait. I notice in the photographs that I have seen that you really connect with your subject and it shows in the eyes. They really tell a story. This is a great point of view for this subject. I read you want to have your own studio. What type of studio do you want? I was 17 years old when I opened mine. (I am semi-retired now) I live in the country so I photographed all manner of things. I would suggest if you do open a studio that you have another source of income so you can stay true to your vision. If you want to discuss studio life you can email jason@machenphoto.com I am really impressed with your work. All the best. Jason
Jason, Thank you so much for your comments. It's always good to know people appreciate my work. I'm not sure yet what I want to do. I'm just focusing on getting through school right now :) But I really enjoy doing portraits.
