PHIL SCHOFIELD PHOTOGRAPHY

Faces

We all have one. Some are more interesting than others. To my way of thinking, the basic foundation of my approach to photography is: the real faces that you find where they naturally exist are much more interesting than perfect ones you can rent. These faces are all real, not a rented one in the bunch.
