Curtis Buchanan is a photographer who can capture those unique and personal moments that are often fleeting and far between.
Specializing in the art of portraits, Curtis Buchanan makes his subjects feel at ease to capture them at their most honest and vulnerable. One of my favorite shots is the one with a girl wearing ruby-red lipstick and a denim jacket with sunglasses to cover her eyes. Even though half of her face is covered with the large frames, Curtis Buchanan still manages to capture a distinct feeling.
Curtis Buchanan also has a blog called Slight Nostalgia which features more of his work. Take a look at these amazing pictures for a brief but intimate glimpse into the subjects he shoots.
