I absolutely LOVE Barcelona. I was so excited to see you did a shoot with them.
Seattle looks like it has incredible places to shoot photos at. Your photos are fantastic!
Awesome! Thats cool you got an interview! Keep up the good work :-)
Good article! You guys are way talented, and I love stopping by your blog to see what you're up to!
@allison the Seattle PUG run by our friends, The Popes is great! Not to mention to just the community in general with random coffee dates and the online community... all of it is great stuff.
Hey Sarah, Congrats! Love the article! totally agree on being a part of a creative community to push and encourage each other, what are some of your favorites in Seattle?
don't forget Hanson..they came out of OK too! Yeh! Loved the interview. :)
You are such an eloquent writer! I LOVED every word of the interview and am so inspired by your work. You are a blessing to little photographers like me :)
Your interview is so inspiring! Congratulations you guys!
Great interview, you guys! Congratulations!! Oklahoma must be really proud :) By the way, I love the photo shoot with Barcelona, they're one of my fav. bands ;)
Wow. These images are beautiful. I love the colours. Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to hit the streets with a smile and my camera!
I loved the quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Another great photographer that shoots in that style is Jeff Ascough (http://www.jeffascough.com/).
The sunset and the street one is beautiful and I agree with a previous comment about the monks and the camera.
sarah, thank you for sharing.
the one of the monk taking a photo of you is just priceless. i love that you can still see his big smile through his fingers and his happy squinty eye from the side. that pictures is so uplifting :))
I like the second to last image for it's depth and strong sense of place. Well done. The image of the scooters at sunset/sunrise is interesting too. Looks like something Nick Onken would shoot.
How fun! Thank you for posting more information on the art of "street photography." I actually just enrolled in a class called street photography, because I want to grow in that specific area! Which means I can't be shy anymore... :)
Thank you so much with sharing, I'm not a shy person at heart to take photos of people, but when I'm in another country I always tend to not get close-up and ask. Your tips will definitely help on my next trip. The photos are amazing! as I was scrolling through the post I was smiling - I love reading and viewing your blog it always makes me smile:)
i love it, thank you Sarah.
I'm going to go over to the Heavenly Village this week and practice some "street photography" for the first time...wish me luck!
Sarah, you know we've been blog stalking you for you a while. Your portraits from Thailand are so impressive and speak so much of your ability to relate to the people you photograph (even with language barriers) :-)
Nice post.
Have a look at the work of a great photographer, Raymond Depardon. I love his vision.

haha. love these! I too really like the monk taking your picture :) And thanks for sharing!
HAHAH! My FAVORITE is the one of the monk taking a photo you YOU! :) That one made me chuckle out loud. Love all of these. The woman in the purple headband is just mesmerizing! Her smile pulled me in. What gorgeous photos, and people!
As always, a lovely post from a lovely couple. I adore the monks with the camera and the watercolor artist the most...thanks for sharing some thoughts on capturing humanity in their elements!
Thanks for the insight and tips. I've been following your work for 2 months and have been inspired by each and every post. Thanks again!
I'm in love with these images. I like to do this same thing when I travel, but never got too many of the people because I was afraid to ask. Thanks for the info, I won't be afraid next time! Beautiful imagery.
these are beautiful photos. i love the styling & they look utterly completely happy!
in love with the first pic! great location choice...you always find the best places ; )

How adorable are THEY?! I would love to see them get a canvas of that first photo. Just because it's so beautiful :) All of these are wonderful. Love her curls!
Oh my gosh these are so beautiful :) :) They look just as you described them, so happy and full of youth :) Love it!
nice work, rhoads. your work has grown leaps and bounds. i can see a real comfort on both ends of the camera in these. this may sound odd, but, i swear that billy lives in my building, that or he has a twin.
what a fun session!!
i love their laugh!
awesome job!
LOVE the colors!
You always have the greatest locations for shoots!
These photos are great. I love the styles of his shirt and the colors go together greatly in this series. The black and white of his hand rubbing his face and the next one of him walking are my favorite. Spectacular capture of emotion.
Great shots of Jeff! Love what looks to be a kung-fu-kick shot, and the airstream shot is great!!!Love the mix of shots.
Jeff is a truly amazing guy who connects with everyone! He's wonderful.
eep. cheep cheep. eep (again). so stinkin amazing.
Love, love, love the personality, the sweet and the serious - how wonderful your skills that they allow us to peer into someone else's soul - you both are always kickin some major butt - love it.
I feel like male portraits are some of the most difficult pieces, but you nailed it! I can feel a personality through the film which is so refreshing. Not to mention that he's pretty good looking as well....:)
AWESOME!!!!!
I'm digging the flannel.
these are incredible. love the locations and clothes. gooooood lookin' man in some good lookin' photographs.

I'm beyond blessed to have the both of you in my life and to share in this journey together. These pictures mean more to me than you'll ever know. You both inspire me to be a better photographer, business owner and most importantly a better friend.
Definately everything you said is true! An amazing fella. and Great photos!
Chris & Sarah; You two are incredibly talented. Even though I don't know Jeff personally, there are so many aspects of his character shown in these images. I loved 'getting to know' him through your images.
He looks like a cool guy!! Very handsome!!! I love the photo of his hands!
Ohhhh, Jeff is Yummy!!!
I love these pictures! I knew "Jeffery Jefferson" could take lots of good photos...Although, it doesn't hurt when you're working with an AMAZING photographer! :)
Great work!

Oh that tilt-blur makes me drool! I love the action shots!! You two are so great!
Looking good Jeff! S + C did a great job :)
I think I need a Sarah Rhoads workshop in my life. Any plans to head to Toronto?
Love it! Love the one where he is laughing. Now I'm inspired to have MY portraits taken. It's hard for a photographer to be on the other side of the lens. Way to be brave, Jeff!
Plaid shirts and fall/winter colors are wicked. Love the large format w/ tilt, too. :)
Jeff, you rocked it. *high five* :) And Sarah and Chris, these shots are amazing. Loving the large format!
JEFFREY!!!!!!! Look at YOU!! So happy right now I'm in tears looking at these! So blessed to have you in my life. Sarah and Chris, you captured him perfectly. Much love to you both. Just brilliant!
I love me some Jeff Holt! You look great, buddy! Can't wait to see you on Friday!
Yeah....that's the good stuff. Amazing guys. Man, I love me some Jeff Holt.
seriously, all they things you say of jeff are true. the shots capture that. way to step into the fear holt. nice work on both sides of the camera!
Seriously Jeff is a baller!!!! Love your work Sarah!
I ADORE the paper-rock-scissors photograph early in the post. And I only just met Jeff at the MTH 2010 in LA, but your description could not be more dead-on. Jeff, if you're reading these comments, you look amazing. Sarah, I love your work so much. There is so much heart in each photo. Fantastic job.
Another great session! :)
