Faces are just about my favourite thing to photograph. For me, capturing the essence of someone's personality in one picture is the greatest photographic challenge. I find I take better pictures of people I know than people I don't. When I meet people to take their portrait, I like to talk to them for a while to get to know them. I don't just want to know what angle to photograph them from, I want to know what they are really like, so I can be sure that my photograph is an accurate representation of their personality.
But perhaps you prefer photographing strangers:

Or maybe you will try to capture a moment in time with your child. Something you can look back on in the future, when they have grown up:

Or you could always try a profile:

And what about our furry friends? Have you ever tried to get the essence of your pet's personality in one shot? This cat looks like quite a character:

Really great post. These photos are beautiful! I'm in love with that sweet boy in the first shot.

Fun! It is mostly what I shoot. Kids, dogs, unwilling husband. I can't wait to see everyone's shots!
Right now, faces are my favorite to photograph too! Love your sample shots! I love capturing my one year old's lashes and profile!
Some great shots here. This one's going to be a challenge for me as I rarely shoot faces.
Oh, this one will be good! Perfect shots to introduce the new theme Kirstin.
Oh exciting!!
Great theme. The name of the flickr pool still says negative space, btw.
