Gesture and Light: Portraiture with Flair

This page seems to capture a significant chunk of what Exercise 6 is about. I particularly like this quote:

Tension and release, subject and background, light and dark... all lead to that single moment I call gesture. Fleeting in its very nature, the subject's natural approach to the world and the way the photographer wants to present it makes the gesture of a photograph so much more interesting to me.

It's quite instructive having a pro explain why he has chosen a particular shot from the contact sheets, and also, in this case, the manner in which he let the shoot develop.

In fact, looking at some of his other posts there's a whole world of info in here, just waiting to be dug out.
