As always, christmas has come early.
The christmas card project brief is generally loathed by most, I found it a chance last year to try something different, or in this case apply my current research and style to a simple, straightforward brief.

I find it a lot harder to shoot people I've known for a long time, by knowing the person well there is too much I want to get across, I want to capture personality, and this is the goal for me. I'm trying to push myself into this area, even though I find it daunting, I sometimes feel that the nervous feeling I get behind the lens actually helps and applies itself to the photo. There are no forced smiles or poses here, It's the confusion and lack of direction that interests me. The blind leading the blind...
