Behind This Lens

When you sit down in front of a camera, what do you think? Should I smile? Is there anything in my teeth and if so, will it show when I smile? Should i act casual, or add a little mystery to it? To be honest, show your true self in every photo!!! Whether its a self portrait, a candid image, always be yourself. I sit here and write this after going through some old photos and I can see so much detail. The saying is true, "a picture is worth a thousand words". The eyes, the slight smile or grin, the posture, its a way to see in. I sit here behind the lens looking at my subjects and just wonder if it's a true version of them. None the less, it's just thoughts running through my mind and I should stop rambling on. I see that I have a slight audience out there, and thank you to whoever reads these. I'm not looking for fame, or popularity. This is just a way to showcase art in a meaningful way and write about life as a photographer. I would also like to take the time to say thank you to the amazing couple that offered me a chance to take their maternity photos. I believe that they came out looking great. I'll even put a quick on here for you guys out there! Well, off I run to finish this editing. Signing off, A. Castle Photography!
