Although I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember, I've always concentrated on landscapes, macro shots and other things which don't need any interaction or direction! I've been thinking recently that I would like to have a go at doing some portrait sessions, maybe with a view to booking some paid sessions in the future, if I'm good enough. So over the last couple of weeks, I've done 2 free sessions for families, to see whether a. I enjoyed it and b. I could actually do it. So far I've really enjoyed it and have had a great time on both shoots! I have had a few problems, in that my cameras aren't really up to it (Fuji X-M1 - lovely images but autofocus woeful, and a borrowed Canon 450D - fairly rubbish images but autofocus slightly better!) and I'm still getting the hang of getting people into pleasing poses, etc.
Anyway, before I do any more, or go spending money on a better camera, I'd be interested in hearing your views, and any pointers, on the following.
