March 18, 2015 By Jennifer Degtjarewsky If you find yourself anywhere near  Bogota  Colombia, trek 20 miles southwest outside the city to the Tequendama Falls Museum of Biodiversity, also known as the historic Hotel Del Salto. One of Bogota’s most popular attractions, its legendary story tells how the once grand hotel clashed with nature in all its full and brutal majesty.

Your decision may be simply to include people in your  landscape photography  (for the purpose of establishing scale). But many of you will want to begin, or advance, your skills in the area of portraits. Humans, as subject matter for your photographic art, are one of the most interesting, rewarding, and challenging subjects that you’ll ever take on. The reason is that each and every one of us is unique: unique in the way we look and unique in our personality.
