Introduction	My name is Joaquin Lares and I am a freelance travel and portrait photographer. I have had a love affair with photography for as long as I can remember. I bought my first camera when I was a child and have been taking photographs in one form or another since. Photography is an example of how I view the world, not just another point and click vacation photo. Having the ability to travel the world, photograph the places and people I visit, and then share with the world my interpretation of my experiences. There is nothing like it. Portrait photography, my second form of photographic expression, is one of the more challenging forms of photography to learn but rewarding all the same. There is an inner satisfaction in capturing the true spirit of your model and being able to display it for all to see through your creativity. Self-expression is one of the few joys anyone can experience in life that is purely their own and can not be influenced by an outside source without your permission. I approach all aspects of photography, as a starving person desires food. I consume as much information as I can possibly learn about the subject until I feel there is nothing else to possibly learn.
