Portraiture: Ode to Film Photography

I love portraiture because there is a part of this style that is magical to me when focusing closely on the eyes. I couldn't help but to create a black and white version of this image.  The style of this image is one that I've been experimenting with lately and have grown to love it.  Although this is a digital photograph, there's a beautiful film quality that I wanted to portray.  The more I play with this style, the more I am hoping to experiment and practice shooting with a film camera.  And learning about photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson  and Helen Levitt will be a fun part of this film journey.  Happy Clickin.

"In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject.  The little, human detail
can become a Leitmotiv."  ​-Henri Cartier Bresson
