Portrait of a stranger

I believe a good portrait needs to create a feeling for the viewer, this can be from the story of the subject or the way the shot taken. The main thing is to choose an interesting subject. I once heard the line “a good portrait is all about the subject, not the photographer”. Viewing the everyday moments. Two people sitting on a verandah at the front of a fish and chip shop in Aldinga. The butchers paper of the chips out on their table. The blackboard menu out the front. The bright blue paint of the store. Captured in mind. If only I had taken that shot.
