A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

3) Portraits

And now for something completely different! This time our project focuses on capturing people, or yourself! As technical as your knowledge may be, and as expensive your kit, if you can't capture that "decisive moment" as one of my favourite ever photographers Henri Cartier - Bresson dubbed it than you just won't "feel" the person when you look at the shot, and for me with portraits that's key. Can you capture that spark and essence of someone? Or if it's a self portrait you decide to go for, can you capture and portray yourself accurately and openly ? And if you need some inspiration have a look here and here!
