Intimacy in Portraiture: Capturing the Raw and the Real

A strong portrait goes beyond aesthetics. It reveals. It invites. It connects.

When I photograph someone, I don’t just see their face — I listen to their energy. I ask them to be still, to breathe, to allow space for vulnerability. These are the moments when truth shows up in the frame.

The technical side matters, of course — lighting, lens choice, background. But the emotional connection? That’s everything.
