This is my freelance colleague Jemima, who last week was helping us at the Irish Open in Northern Ireland. On the Saturday after we finished on the course, in the best weather we'd had all week, we went down to the beach right next to the course in Portstewart for a nice walk. The sun was shining hard, the cool breeze blew and we soaked it up before heading back to the hotel.
I loved taking these photographs....it was fun for me to try and get the best from her, and I think she looks genuinely happy in this moment. All I really did was take photographs while she was herself. The only thing I asked her to do was flick her hair a few times hence her hand being up that way.
3 good things:
1 - The best weather we'd had all week
2 - An evening with lovely colleagues for dinner and drinks in the hotel
3 - Ending the night with a few select colleagues with drinks, guitar playing and singing in the hotel bar
Beautiful portrait! This is the kind I'd like to learn to take, where you can get the subject to relax, and be natural, and you capture a moment that expresses joyfulness.
