What a busy summer this had been! I've been running around in circles between two jobs, soccer games, and birthday parties I'm about exhausted! The fun isn't over yet though! Plenty more where all of that came from, to be sure! I am enjoying though.
My new job just happens to be at a portrait studio. Needless to
say, I've gotten a new interest in portrait photography. I'm partial to
the spontaneous photos, because they see so much more natural. The posed
photos seem so rigid and boring. We are required to have the same poses
for almost every shoot. While this may be exciting for the customer who
wouldn't know that exactly, it gets rather boring for the photographer.
I'm hoping I can encourage the customers to bring in some props of their
own, to shake things up a bit. In the mean time though, I've been
practicing a bit at home.
This photo is an example of what they call a 9-UP. Its not exactly what the studio offers, but I love it even more so. I simply love using my younger siblings as subjects for my practice. They make the most amazing faces and it gives me some one on one time with them. I hope to have more photos like this to share in the future!
