About the Author

Bob McGowan
A Southern California native, Bob came to Montana and to RMSP as a Career Training student in 2004 to attend both the Summer and Digital Intensive courses. His love of photography began in high school and he decided that a career change in pursuit of this passion was in store after spending the previous 20 years of employment in retail management. After completing the program, Missoula felt like home to him so he pursued a job on staff with the school, and as a result, currently holds the Programs Specialist position. His day-to-day activities at the school involve discussing photography with many like-minded individuals interested in learning more about their passion.

    Bob,

    Thanks for sharing your remarkably enjoyable image. It doesn’t seem to suffer from your chosen (up-the-nostrils) perspective. Despite the absence of catchlights, Marcy’s exuberance/vitality comes through clearly. That said, I can’t help wondering if a more conventional angle wouldn’t have been more flattering.

    Ultimately, your image inspires me to be less afraid of unconventional portraits.

      Thank you for the feedback, Barry! This was an attempt to capture Marcy’s enjoyment of the moment without actually using the view finder. I was literally “shooting from the hip” and I got lucky. The highest compliment you could pay me is exactly what you observed about capturing her exuberance and vitality. That was my intention. I agree that a conventional angle is called for in certain circumstances but it wasn’t really what I was going for here.
