Leica M - Post your Portraits

While posed, studio work is nice, the informal style seems to be the trend nowdays (like what's shown above). A fast 50mm to 75 or 90mm will work well.

Todd,

I always love your work - while both of these are great, the second one of these is so immaculate !! :)


Cheers,
Dave
 
Have to agree with Simon on that child-with-cars portrait of Ron, that is a very strong image. If the kid were naked it would have been a Sally Mann shot! ;-)

Todd, love the ones you posted as well.

I have tried the typical studio portraiture with a 3-light setup, backgrounds and Nikon DSLR's...but they are a dime a dozen and do not have any character, at least IMHO.

this has nothing to do with the equipment and everything to do with the operator of said equipment. The only reason for "dime a dozen" is the lack of creativity from the photographer. There are people out there that have done one light setups that just blow my mind.

I use an M in the studio exclusively and every day is a new challenge. Studio portraiture is going to be all about your lighting however, and very little about whatever camera you use. I stick with the M as its the shortest route to me realizing my ideas.
 
Great photos. The OP was wondering about the viability of doing portraits professionally with a rangefinder. How many are making money with these photos?
