Great photos Robert! Especially this one!

Thanks, it was a surreal experience to see them appear over a hill - bedraggled and not a smile amongst them

Beauty in Chiang Rai.

There are so many beautiful ladies here - maybe I should start a new thread. As a model and portrait photographer from Australia , I might try a small business here if there is a market or just do tfdvd (time for dvd)

Your photos are truly exceptional, I love good portrait stuff and try to get good people shots myself.

there's more variables than with landscape, light is much more important to begin with.

The Akha girl with the wonderful smile is the keynote here...

Another beautiful photo Robert! I agree with Sceau, portrait shots are more challenging than landscape shots and you seem to have perfected them. This one is quite funny, is she showing her ring off or beckoning you over?

Yeh ! I cannot take shots of inanimate objects, just seems to me the same thing will be there tomorrow or the day after. I love natural light photography, after years of studio work with strobes and controlled lighting the search for natural light opportunities has me hooked.

We were having fun at the end of the shoot and she was showing off the wedding ring - she reminded me of an old Shania Twain song

Many thanks, I have a portfolio on 500px.com under user krobert6 if you are bored

Good to see someone posting photos from Chiang Rai in the right thread, "Images of Chiang Rai'!

I have my own photo thread that I started here a while back... I should resurrect it!

There should be room here for all of us. We probably could have a thread each if we really want to.

Well said. Glad to see you resurrected your excellent photo thread. Some great shots in there.
