Self Portraits

So earlier today I was looking through my photos and realized that I didn't have very many good photos of myself. I also had an urge to do a photo shoot of someone to develop my portfolio. Then I thought to myself "Why not do some photos of myself?"

A years growth

Over the last year I have been developing as a photographer and learning different skills and techniques. Not only did I learn a lot about shooting but I also learned different techniques and skills in post processing. When I started photography I wanted so much to be like other photographers trying to do the same style of shots as they did, the same way they edited their photos, etc. As time continued I started developing my own style of photography, though I still have much to learn and develop, I can tell where my style is starting to form. As editing is concerned I am not widely into copying other styles, but instead I enhance the photo a little. When I started I tried to do what I thought was popular and what others liked, not what I liked.  Just bellow are two photos, same model, some location, around a year apart. The one on top was shot February, 2011 and the other January, 2012.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Photography is an art that I enjoy and want to share with others. In the future I hope that I can make photography as my full time career. I hope that you enjoy my work and that you will enjoy my works to come in future years.

This guy is fun to be around which in essence made the shoot a lot of fun. I intended to do this shoot just to develop my work, style, and portfolio. But in the end got lucky to do this for his sponsor Emerald Pacific as well. It was a great day.
