There she was standing on her toes, looking outside the large window into the garden and the city beyond.<\/p>\n[pp_gallery id=\"4195\" style-id=\"__full-size-images__\"]\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She was curious to discover that world outside.<\/p>\n
As I was preparing the lights in our studio for the next setting, I saw her and quickly grabbed my camera and took that shot.<\/p>\n
We did many great photos that days but this one holds a special place, for it was just a moment, a moment that defined the little Claire.<\/p>\n
We can’t see her face on that photo, and yet it tells us a lot about her, the curiosity that animates her, the will to see even further by getting higher on her toes.<\/p>\n
There’s emotion and imagination here.<\/p>\n
We’ve all looked at the window daydreaming, yet she does it in much cuter way that I have ever done, and we can’t stop but wonder what was she looking at, what was so fascinating to her that for a short while nothing around mattered as she just starred at the city view.<\/p>\n
This photo “works” because it is unique and universal at the same time, it’s her and it’s also all of us, in a moment we can all relate, we have all experienced.<\/p>\n
A portrait for me is about telling a story, a person’s story.<\/p>\n
And there are many ways to achieve that, but getting to know and understand your subject is key to making great photos, and also you have to be quick !<\/p>\n
