When I happened upon the nineteen year old Syndey-based photographer, Annette Wilson’s video portraits, I was totally blown away. I had done videos in the past, remember the darling Liam, but her video portraits were different and raw. I fell in love with every bit of Annette’s work and well, her. And so, I sent her a message gushing to Annette of how much I love all that she does. She responded quickly and enthusiastically, offering me some direction with video portraits. Annette Wilson, you are a creative genius. You are also humble and generous; such a wonderful combination. Thank you Annette! Be sure to check out her work here.
So, how much can you tell about a person in thirty six seconds?

I can tell you three things for sure; Michelle is kind, she is smart and she is beautiful. She was also freezing. Thank you dear Michelle. Here are a few natural shots I adore of Michelle, a mixture of digital and film.

Melissa - Gorgeous and real. You truly inspire me.
Jamie Rubeis - That is funny Brooke, because I stumbled upon Annette Wilson’s blog a couple of months ago and reached out to her about her videos as well. I have tried a couple, but you nailed it of course. I have issues with camera shake that I can’t figure out.
