Improved self-portraits
Shooting people is one of my weaknesses as a photographer. I think I take acceptable landscape shots and animal/wildlife shots but when it comes to shooting subjects that are something so dynamic and interactive such as a human, I can’t seem to be confident enough in pressing the shutter due to self doubts whether it will result in a good shot.
So I convinced my friends to let me take portrait shots of them until I get better and I did. I’ll post some pictures of my friends if they will agree. My newly enhanced skill has also helped me take self-portrait shots, so in the meantime, I’ll just post some pictures of myself:
Got lost in Your Eyes
EMO
Tomorrow is a New Day
Lurking behind the Shadows
Melancholic Suicide
Transported to another Reality
The Days of our Lives
There’s always the Sunshine
Right Here Waiting
I just recently noticed that one of my eyes is bigger and has a different shape than the other, it sounds freaky, but someone told me it’s just normal. I want to know how to get around that, should I squint the bigger eye it even them out? … do all models taking shots straight on have to squint one eye to produce perfectly symmetrical eyes in photographs?
marcuus!! how do you that??.. changing your eye color?? its cool!!
yeah..it has to be normal!! coz ive got that too… i have assymetrical eyes.. one is more singkit.. & the eyebag in the other is bigger.. haha!!.. so you shudnt have to worry over that…
& damn those models!!! im sure their pictures are edited too….
Hello Jan,
Practice and Good Lighting, and a whole lot of Photoshop, hehe. Good to know that it’s just normal makes me feel a whole lot better ^_^
Thanks for commenting
Hala. Pano mo nagawa yan sa mata mo? Ang galing. Turo mo naman. Hehehe.
Salamat … basta na edit sa Photoshop using dodge tool
Ganun ba? Sige try ko nga next time. Hehehehe.
Marc, hi! Such assymetry of the eyes are normal and quite common. Dont’ worry, I have the same, as well. I was a bit bothered when I was your age as it was more obvoius then than what it is now.
Great shots you’ve got! I’m quite sure that you enhanced your shots with Adobe Photoshop (version 7?). You have the potential to be a good photographer, Marc….just keep on shooting! Who knows, someday, you’ll be one of the best… Your website looks great, as well! Iba talaga pag Ilongo, ano?
That’s a relief, I guess I’ll just have to stick it out with my asymmetrical eyes. Yes, I edit the photos in photoshop. My camera is only a point and shoot so I have to do some editing to achieve the photos that I want.
Thanks for your words of encouragement lee
Marc, Lee here again! After checking out Explore Iloilo and Flickr websites, my oh my! You’re a great photographer, Marc! At your tender age you’re already pro, bud…I mean it! Sorry for under-estimating your capability. It’s good that you copyrighted all your photos in your gallery as there are some opportunistic people out there.
By the way, Marc, I am an Ilonggo, too, and am proud to be one! Keep up the good work, man!
