I heart faces...

..I really do. I would have to say my favorite type of images are 'close-ups' of faces. Although I do love to capture big smiles, silly faces, even grumpy faces & everything in between, there is a certain expression that I really love to capture.. I think of it almost as a 'non-expression'.. the one that comes in between the smiles, the laughs & the tears. It's one that I don't think gets caught on film nearly as often as other expressions, & usually takes a lot of patience to capture.. but one that I think is so worth the effort. This weeks challenge over at I heart faces is 'dramatic black & white'. One of my favorite photos of Chloe immediately came to mind.. it is definitely one of my favorite 'face' images, & probably one of the most 'dramatic' photos I've taken...

Wish me luck, & be sure to stop over at I heart faces to see all the other amazing entries!

You hit the nail on the head with your comment. Faces are my favorite too. I love her hair whipping around and her eyes are really telling a lot since they are so clear you can see what she is looking at. Good job!

i love to capture these moments of solitude too. i told a friend recently that i dont love the laughing photos as much as the serious ones and im really not sure why? im drawn to these sorts of images and im sure others will love it as much as we do! rowe x
