Recently, I decided that I needed some new pictures of myself. Not being one for self portraits, I decided to enlist the help of the ever eager to help Evan (ok, actually I had to twist his arm a little, I'm not going to lie). We went for a walk. And so I thought, I'll frame the shot with him as a stand in for me, and then I'll hand him the camera and he can push the shutter button. Kind of like boyfriend-as-tripod.
Unfortunately, Evan has a will of his own, and this method didn't really suit his style. He insisted on taking control of the whole shoot. So the whole time I'm going, "Don't shoot up on me! How is the light? I think the light's too hot!" And then he'd ask me to step into the sun and I'd be like, "No direct sun! What's your aperture?"
So, a little backing and forthing, yes. But who cares when the end result is some photos like these? I love them! (And actually, that direct sun thing turned out ok!)

ReplyDeleteI have one problem with the photo...
ReplyDeleteWhen a portrait is taken of someone with glasses, it is critical that the glasses don't cover the eyes.
So, I find it very distracting that your left eye is partially covered, and your right eye is almost covered.....
Push the glasses up on your nose so your looking through them.
Other then that the shots are very nice.
