If there’s one photographic discipline that I’d like to get more involved in that any other, it has to be people photography. There’s just something so compelling about human portraiture and the way that a single image can tell the story of a whole person within a fraction of a second. Up until this point I have had very little opportunity (or drive) to get involved in people photography. I have shot an evening wedding reception, various sporting events, and even a handful of sit-down-stay-still portraits but I am a long way away from calling myself a people photographer. That’s where this challenge comes in.
This is easy? I guess for some it’s second nature, and very easily achieved. For me, not so much. But, if I am going to work on people photography, I have to take portrait shots (duh!) and so this is where it all begins.
This is a hangover from the 2011 Challenges, but it’s still one that I would like to complete (if only to help me with the Easy challenge in this set).
The level of fame is entirely open to interpretation, and the field in which this person has made their name is totally open – it could a sports personality, a scientist, an actor, a “celebrity” chef… it doesn’t matter who it is, or how they became “famous”, as long as it’s someone who people will recognise. This sounds like a difficult to impossible challenge to me, but then I did manage to capture some professional triathletes and a TV sports presenter last year. I may get lucky again in 2012?
