Exactly no rushing and smiling. Have fun in your hobby/work. You don't get the truest most sincere expressions with people that have masks on.

I think this is awesome, but at the same time it seems more like street portraiture. Fantastic approach and I totally agree with his comments about slowing down, at least in moderation! Nice work!

I think that this man is a gentleman, but Bruce is a raw artistic photographer. Bruce gets images that reflect the culture and the people surrounding him, and Jamel gets somewhat more of a hallmark card photo.

this should have been featured instead of that bruce guy. He is a gentleman and a stand up guy unlike bruce.
