Frank Hardy Photography

Here are several beach portraits that I made a few years ago.  I do not do as many soft-focus images today as I did in the past for some unknown reason … I have always liked this ” style ” of photography.  When printed correctly there is nothing prettier!  Below are two  photos of the same image, the bottom one is cropped tighter, giving you the impression that the little girl might be holding her mother’s hand.  When actually she is holding her cousin’s hand.  I do not know if it is an improvement, but it is a more striking image to me.  Maybe I am just getting older, but I tend to like this type of image more than just the look at the camera and smile type photo…

Thanks for looking … I have some more beach portraits I plan to post in the near future, so please check back … Frank
