OMG! this will larn me to stuff the boys in the basement crawl space, turn the music up loud and tell 'em to ham it up for the camera!
On the plus side, not only did they cooperate, but I think they may actually have had fun (altho' I don't expect them to admit it)...
On the negative side, I don't think I have one photo of the three of them I would dare give to their grandmother ;p
In theory, this is my contribution to the fashion photography portion of the One Night Stand Two challenge... but getting them to dress up is a bit more than I could have hoped for (ask 'em and they'll tell you "this is how I roll")
Thank you for all the really nice comments on my perspective shot from yesterday... I am afraid I am horribly behind and my chances of catching up in looking and commenting on everyone's photos before Sunday are extremely remote... bear with me? please?
This looks like so much fun was had! Funny as I hear that statement in my house too, "this is how I roll"! Love the collage display as well. Perhaps Grandma could use a good chuckle :)
@ltodd gaaak! ok... definitely a push! petrified - but I'm looking forward to taking this on! tx lots for the links... i'm gonna need all the help i can get with this one :)
This time you are challenged to capture a connection with a person that is more than an observation of appearance, surroundings and mannerisms. Look for the power in an image that comes from capturing the vulnerability that we all hide from the world. You can decide if you ask permission of the subject or not, but there needs to be direct eye contact with the camera, a tight crop, and you can not use a lens >100mm.
“Looking and seeing are two different things. What matters is the relationship with the subject.” – Christophe Agou
If you have time & are interested here are some great articles - http://erickimphotography.com/Downloads/Books/30DaysHowtoOvercomeYourFearofShootingStreetPhotography_5.pdf gave me the courage to tackle street photography, and understand that it is a priveledge to photograph people when they are unguarded, definitely not voyeuistic. (I work too many hours & not in the city, to do more street photography) http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2011/05/how-to-shoot-street-portraits-with-permission-by-danny-santos/ http://shuttermonks.com/tips-for-street-portraits-street-photography/ http://www.dannyst.com/gallery/portraits-of-strangers/ for examples of the tight crop http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2012/09/10-tips-how-to-unleash-your-creativity-in-street-photography/ just because I like Eric Kim's phillosophy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasleuthard/sets/72157626464840943/ great imagery from his book Going Candid ebook (which I can email you if you don't already have it).
