I’ve redeemed myself today by asking Grady, who has colored my hair for more than ten years, if I could take his picture. I hadn’t planned on this, but my intention to photograph PEOPLE plus the opportunity to do so collided at the hair salon- so I took the chance.
He is kind of a hottie!
Here is a serious pose.
And here is my favorite shot- Grady being Grady! I love candid images- I want to do more of this type of shot.
All were taken with my 35mm 1.8- f/2, 1/160, ISO 2000- no flash (didn’t bring it). I think a slightly smaller aperture would have helped my focus.



KIND of a hottie!! I’m coming down there. How soon can I make an appointment??
You didn’t need to redeem yourself, Melinda. But these are really great shots. I love the first one and the last one best. I love the first because it is beautifully composed and he is leaning into the shot which draws the viewer in, too. I love the last because it is so whimsical and appealing. Great job!
