Candid portraits in a boat

Candid portraits of people in a boat

My last blog was about our boat, "Foolish Pleasure" and it's crew.  This time it will be about passengers that tag along for our weekly adventures. 

I love shooting portriats like this.  The natural light at the end of the day, the water acts as a huge reflector, and the subjects are relaxed and candid.  I love when we are moving and the wind blows their hair, or lifts the brim of a hat.  They usually are a little uncomfortable at first but get used to the big lens pointing at them.  That's when the magic happens and I capture their spirit.  Sometimes it takes me a year to get the right expression in the right light at the right moment.  Sometimes I get it in just a few shots.

Here are a few of my favorites and more of the same to come next time.
