Candid Portrait - Jacqueline

Jacqueline and I are both members of a local photo club and, with three other members, we have collaborated with the local maternity hospital to produce an exhibition on 'Birth'. We were waiting to show the final selection of photos to the maternity unit staff and their prior meeting was running late. A little bored, I turned my camera on and raised it to take a candid of Jacqueline. She was in the middle of saying 'Oh no., I hate having my photograph taken' (or rather, the equivalent in French) when I pressed the shutter button! I have promised to send her a copy of this... but I didn't promise not to post it on 365 ;-))

Taken in a dark reception area at ISO 5000.

I would guess she'll love this candid. It has such life.

[Dawn]

It's a lovely candid and quite often they are

[Joan Robillard]

I can see the "Oh no" on her lips.

[gloria jones]

A great candid which she will thank you for :).

Terrific portrait! I'd love to see the exhibit on "Birth"! I hope it is well received! FAV for your portrait!

[Richard Sayer]

@skipt07 It's been a great privilege Skip, I got to photograph two natural births and two caesarean births as well as all aspects of the daily life of the maternity unit.

[Kathy]

She will be pleased with this I think. I hope your exhibit turned out well. Sorry we will not be able to see it.

[Anita Campbell]

You got a great portrait of her, despite her reluctance. Your exhibit sounds interesting.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely shot of Jacqueline.

[Margo]

She looks a lovely lady as she is in this pic!!

[Delwyn Barnett]

I love the sound of your birth exhibition. So magic to witness moments like that.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Perfect one!

[Margo Sayer]

We should be long past the age of boredom, finding/making time for all we want and/or needs must do is a daily juggling phenomenon. Yet sometimes we just need to chill out and say 'No' without hesitation and conviction.

[Jane Pittenger]

I used to be a nurse midwife and miss being present at such a miracle. I hope you will share your photos

[Richard Sayer]

@jgpittenger I'd love to Jane but our agreement with the families is that all images will only be exhibited by the sponsorising bodies - the local arts centre and the maternity unit itself. We do have a guest bedroom... !
