Portraiture: Capture the Essence

     When I take a portrait of somebody, my goal is to portray their traits through my images. I want the viewer of my images to feel acquainted with the person in the photograph. To create such a direct connection between the viewer of the photo with the subject of the photo is quite rare, but that is what I strive for when I am taking portraits. 

Here are some portraits that I have taken over the past couple months. 

Through the Eyes of Dragonflies

After doing some research, I found 

out a few interesting things about these insects. The eyes of a dragonfly have around 30,000 lenses. Unfortunately, they can't see details. To compensate, God gave them the ability to see colors that humans can't even see.
