Downtown Denver Portrait Session

I have always dreamed of capturing some of my best portraits in Downtown Denver. My great friend Ben spends so much of his time in that area and so I decided to have him tag along. We scouted every street near 16th Street Mall on a chilly Sunday evening and every moment of it I kept finding such perfect spots. The thing I love most about photography is you can take any ordinary area and utilize it to its maximum to create amaaaazing backgrounds for your portraits. We spent 2 hours total shooting portraits and street photography, and I must say, the vision I had in mind for these was totally executed.

Props to Ben for modeling for me, you did great for your 1st time! :)

Here are the results!
