    Portrait Photography | The Power of Simplicity

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Portrait Photography | Simplicity “The Ability to Simplify Means to Eliminate the Unnecessary so that the Necessary May Speak.” | Hans Hofmann When it comes to portrait photography, I like to keep things simple, the first thing that I will pay a very close attention is the background, I will try to find a clean, uncluttered background for my subject.
