Murdo Macleod is a new photographer to me. We always buy the weekend papers and I recently discovered some of his pictures in the Guardian.
I'm interested in portrait photography, and have myself taken many candid and also posed portraits. I find the outcomes you get can vary so much.
The one of good old Maggie, linked below, is great. She seems so lost in her own thoughts that she is completely unaware the picture is being taken.
Murdo seems to really capture the whole person, and I love the way he uses light, both natural and flash. I am hoping to become more at ease with using flash, as it is something i have always steered away from.
