I have been photographing more of my friends recently playing around with some portraiture ideas. While my normal approach to portraiture consists mostly of environmental portraits, I am trying to approach the process more with more fun added into the mix. Here is a portrait of my friend Donny, who's currently working as a computer engineer of sorts.

It kinda feels like high school again, only I don't have go to class or hide to drink beer. Here are a few of their pictures.
