Black&white - My first Portraits

in Photography Lovers โ€ข 3 years ago

Happy thursday my AMAZING HIVERS


Hope your week is treating you well,
and that you are finding things
that makes you Smile ๐Ÿ˜Š

I been trying to learn some more about photography and especially Portraits
as that is Something I always
loved but haven't got to yet.

I had a friend showing me how you
can do to take better selfies
(Im bad at selfies)

IMG_20210702_005948.jpg

I am no selfie fan but If you going
to do one it better be right ๐Ÿ˜œ

Apparantly the background matters,
and here I have a tree behind me and
for some reason it looks like I'm
melting into the tree.

And if we add effects with more
black&white shades, it looks
pretty cool right?

And the angle of the selfie , how
you take the shot matters.

I hate taking pictures when you lay
down or leaning back, as the face
looks funny and weard.

But then she told me, a little pillow
or lean more to the side... Not sure
exactly what she meant but out of
20 takes, this was the only one
that I thought was ok enogh
to share with ya'll ๐Ÿ˜ lol

And ofcourse apps like my favorite one SNAPSEED, and other apps like photo
lab app can help making your photos
really different and Beautiful.

This is a favorite of mine, so neat
with half me and half of a tiger.

BUT...

There is another thing I been doing
more and more of lately, I love to
learn more about how to take
good portraits of people.

IMG_20210702_011313.jpg

I started with my crazy cute baby
nephew, and I was really happy
with how it turned out.

CUTENESS OVERLOAD

Then I been experimenting on my
coworkers, and this one was
really cool but I wanted
that Special one.

IMG_20210702_011444-01.jpeg

You know a REAL portrait that makes
you go all... THIS one was magical.

IMG_20200314_214936.jpg

Like I find when I take shots of
Nature and flowers, there I
can capture the magic.

CAPTURE A MOMENT!

I seen so many amazing portraits
that you guys have shared, and I get
so inspired and want to be able to
find that same magic and spark.

Then it happened

Atleast I got a AHA moment

I was playing around with my Phone
camera and took some shots at my coworkers as they were playing.

THEN...

I told my friend to do some funny
things with the balls, and these
2 Portraits came to life.

IMG_20210618_211100-01.jpeg

This is my favorite shot and I don't
know why, but there is just something
about this photo that makes me
smile and feel proud.

IMG_20210618_211100.jpg

Then my second favorite that also
turned out really well, and also
got that special feeling.

IMG_20210702_011138.jpg

Capture the moment, and this is
definitly one... That smile ๐Ÿ˜Š

IMG_20210618_211055.jpg

This gave me such a kick, and she
was really happy with the photos
and wanted me to take some
more, and ofcourse I did.
Loved it ๐Ÿ˜ lol

IMG_20210702_023056-01.jpeg

So now you know what I spend my
time doing, and I really hope I get
a chance to take some REALLY
AMAZING Portraits to share
with you guys.

And if you have any great advices
and pointers on how to improve,
I'm happy to hear it.

๐Ÿ”น๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ”น

Have a fabulous evening my peeps

And don't forget to SMILE ๐Ÿ˜Š
You might be caught on camera

Awww... Thank you my friend, really sweet. Glad you liked them.
Happy friday. Much love ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

I think sometimes people think portrait photography is easy but it is not. Cool to see you learning something new, this pictures are good and I bet they get better as you go. I feel like sometimes people give up on things they want to try before they even try!?

Anyhow, that kid is adorbs and the last shot of your friend is really nice too. Keep it up Saffi!!

I Will never think it if I ever did, ๐Ÿ˜ portrait is really hard and different from capturing a sunset or flower. But I improved my skills with natur pictures so if I keep practicing and don't give up.
I hope to capture some really AMAZING Portraits and capture special moments.
Thank you for your kind words and glad you liked it.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend. Much love ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒนโค๏ธ

Awesome, just beautiful and always you are. I thought that black and white photo of you was so pretty but then again, the actual or the original beauty of yours is what I love the most.

Don't get me wrong, you're doing fine with photography.

Awww... Thank you for your kind words my friend ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ means alot.
Glad you liked it, it is really fun to play around with photography and to learn new things.
Hope to improve and learn along the way. Hope you are doing well and having a fantastic day.
Much love ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒนโค๏ธ

You know what? You are one reason why I started with selfies after reading your posts and seen your amazing pictures and edits.
Before I really hated it, I don't love it today but not as uncomfteble than I used to be.
Portrait is another thing that I never really done but really want to learn more about.

Glad you liked them and you make me smile inside out with your words.

I love b&w portraits they tend to show the real you more realistic and it is making you look even more stunning in b&w you did a great job. I just did a post on emotional b&w photos for a @qurator contest of some of my friends check it out you may get some further ideas on b&w portraits ๐Ÿ˜Š
