Family Shoot )
At the last weekend away with my wife's (she's in the 2nd photo) family I decided to shoot all of their portraits on film. I went into it far too ambitious and misjudged their willingness to pose for more than 30 seconds and the time I had to spend setting up every shot separately. In the end I decided to abandon my original plans of shooting both environmental portraits and headshots and just find a place with decent natural light througout the afternoon and evening under a few trees and just shoot all (12!) of them the same way. Some of them were up to it, and that shines through immediately.
After a shoot like that browsing a thread like this is a humbling experience. I'm not that comfortable posing people and much prefer a nice, quiet forest scene.
Maybe I'll try my hand at portraits one day, but I would prefer them asking me to take their portrait, than me having to force them.

Like them all.
These must be the patient ones!

Yes, they were, though none of them were in front of the camera for more than a minute or two.
