Almost inevitably, my favorite images from a portrait shoot are theaccidental ones, the moments thathappened between takes or that occurwhen the something is being adjusted.Little, fleeting moments in which thepersonality of the subjects really shineshappen so often that I try to keep mycamera in my hand and turned on nomatter what’s going on around me, andespecially after the shoot has ended.This shot happened at the end of afew hours testing camera equipmentat sunset on the banks of the HudsonRiver. Gina, my model, is one of thosehighly prized models that not only is upfor anything, but suggests trying thingsthat other subjects might not go for.I had asked her to stand on the rockswith the hem of her dress in the riverwhen she said “want me to sit down inthe river?”Uh, yes.What followed was a half hour of incredible shots with the sunlight on oneside of her face and LED lights on theother side. (You can see more of theseimages in our review of the new flagshipDSLRs from Nikon and Canon, and inour sister magazine, Digital Photo Pro )While those images were incredible, thisshot particularly stood out to me. Wehad just finished shooting in the water,wrapping for the day, and Gina stoodup to wring the water out of her dress.We were joking about the shoot andabout the throngs of people assembledon the boardwalk behind me gawkingat our antics, when she threw her headback laughing.It took me many years as a photographer to learn to keep my eyes openfor the moments that happen betweenthe moments, but once I learned that,my photography changed. That’s oneof the great things about photography, you never stop learning. Somedays you’re learning about f/stops andlighting ratios and some days you’relearning about capturing the momentsyou might have missed if you weren’tpaying attention.This issue is dedicated to the art of8QDigital Photo dpmag.comEDITOR’SNOTEphotographic education.

VIEWPROFILE:ALI SAYAGO" I wanted to capture astrong portrait defining hisbeautiful jaw line, usingstrong lighting effects."
PHOTOS BY ALI SAYAGOSometimes you find talent in unexpected places. ALI SAYAGOcame into our offices looking for work on the editorial side ofthe magazine, but happened to bring her portfolio along. Weopened it up and were floored. Here was a young, talentedphotographer looking to get away from the camera andinstead spend more time with a keyboard.When we pressed her for details, we heard somethingthat’s pretty common in the creative world—it’s difficultand frustrating to get a foot in the door in photography,especially as a young, unproven shooter. There is a flood ofphotographers coming out of art school that don’t have thetalent necessary to become long-term commercial shooters,only able to pull off a single type of shot over and over.(You’ve seen them on Instagram with their moody portraitsor masked subjects holding billowing flares.) That wasn’t thecase with Sayago’s portfolio, which was full of a variety ofdifferent looks and styles. We could see her easily capturingimages for clients from J. Crew to Prada.Much of Sayago’s work feels aligned with street andsemi-journalistic photography. Growing up aroundskaters, punks and tattoo artists in Venice,Calif. She says she wanted to show othersher community. “I wanted to express [this]with the world, that’s how my passioncame out when I started shootingskaters around me.”Despite that, she actually lovesstudio work. Her talent withlighting is obvious in many of herimages. “It’s hard to let [studiolights] go,” she says. Instead,she’s replaced her belovedstudio cans with gels thatshe likes because they“highlight features, bringout a lot of color andmakes postediting easier.”More of Ali Sayago’swork can be foundon her website,alibuniphotography.comand she can befound on Facebookand Instagram@alibuniphotograhy."I had the studio bookedfor 4 hours, to capture 3models, with various looksfor each of them, thanksto amazing team I wasworking with I managedto cover each model andcreating this portrait."dpmag.com September 2016Q11
"During myfinal thesisfor graduationI wanted toexpose theworld ofrescue, thisimage displaysthe powerfulemotion thatruns throughthe savingof animals.""The various faces of a pitbull, one of the most misunderstood breed ofanimals, portrayed as a vicious creatures by the media, they will do anythingto be loved, even if that means to do wrong. All they truly want is affection.""I wanted to create a cinematiclook combining the Californiafeel with the classic film noir."
"After being harassed bythe cops at the beach forshooting without a permit,I managed to make enoughtime to grab this quick shotof this surfer from Hawaii.""When working witha new face, you mustbreak the barrier of selfconsciousness, whileshooting this girl, I startedasking her about school,friends, making herfeel comfortable in herown skin, thats how Imanaged to show thatin this image."
