Portraits... are hard
1. Our mustaches. 1-24-2010, Idaho Falls, Idaho. F/4.5, 1/80. Nikon D3000
2. "Don't make Faces" 1-27-2010, Driggs, Idaho. F/ 9.0, 1/200. Nikon D3000
The first picture was just fun to do. I mean who doesn't like mustaches. I had to crop this photo a lot because i set in on the side table with the timer function so its a little centered. I did some light editing on both of the photos, mostly with hue/saturation and levels.
This second photo i tried to get them to look nice but he kept making faces and she kept getting mad. So I feel like the elbow nudge and look of disapproval captured the event.

Yeah I have a hard time with portraits too! I think that "Don't Make Faces" is great! I definitely think it captures the moment.
ReplyDeleteI really like your choice of a background. Mainly because I did a similar thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd you did a really nice job of bringing out the white in the snow.
ReplyDeleteI love BOTH of these pictures! The mustache one is just adorable. I mean, who doesn't love a good mustache? But I LOVE the colors in the second photo. I also like how you caught that moment in time when he was getting in trouble for making faces. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI like your portraits because they are fun and capture the personalities so well! The second one has a really cool background too.
ReplyDeleteGreat landscape portrait! Color and lighting are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI second the comment about bringing out personality in these shots. It's wonderful! Your subjects are clearly comfortable. Nice job bringing the Tetons forward in the second shot.
