Project 365 - Day 32

Still working to improve my portrait photography skills. This time it's a shot of my youngest daughter. Once again, I used a shallow depth of field to try to create an intimate feeling with her. It lacks a bit of sharpness, but overall, I'm very happy with this portrait. I really like the expression that she's got on this picture !

Project 365 - Day 31

Another try at portrait photography. This time it's a close up shot of the eyes of my older daughter. She's got wonderful eyes, very expressive. I chose to go with a shallow depth of field to concentrate the attention on her eyes. I'm quite happy with this one, still have to practice portrait photography a lot, but I've got incredible models ! ;-)

As usual, you may have noticed that I haven't been very regular on posting my pictures for this project, don't worry, I'm still working on it, but it's just not always easy to manage the family life, taking pictures, work, photography and sharing my pictures ! By the way, for those interested, I've added new sets of pictures on my urbex photography website.

Project 365 - Day 27

Another try at portrait photography with my youngest daughter. We spent a nice moment together, for once, she was very receptive and not running everywhere. I like this shot because she looks very contemplative and lost in her thoughts. I really have to practice more with portrait photography, a style which I'm not very familiar with. Most of my portrait pictures are just uninteresting family portraits...

Project 365 - Day 14

This shot was taken the same day as the previous one in the playground in the woods. I know, you'll say I'm cheating, but as I said in my previous post, I've been very sick, and my daughter too, which is noticeable at her face. I chose to go for the square format, because I thought it coiuld work well with the three 'stripes'.

Project 365 - Day 13

I've been really sick these past days, so it was hard for me to follow my 365 project. Anyway, here's the picture of day 13. I went on walk in the woods with my daughters and found a playground. I wanted to capture the movement of my daughter sliding on a toboggan, but unfortunately, I hadn't my tripod with me, so I took this shot with the slower speed I could do hand held. I'm still wondering if this could be considered as a street photography picture or if it should be considered as a portrait...

Project 365 -Day 12

Another try at black and white photography. This time it is a human part shot, most specifically the hands, as you have noticed, of my daughter Eva (which I posted a portrait earlier in my 365 project). I'm quite glad how it turned out. She's often looking at her little hands, and I think the position of her hands is quite expressive here. I chose to turn this one in black and white mostly because of the noise on the pictures. I took it with my old Nikon D3000 which doesn't really handle well high iso. It's also a good exercice for me to practice black and white because I'm a colour lover and I seldom do that.

Project 365 - Day 6

The picture of today is a portrait of my youngest daughter. She's not an easy one to capture, because she's full of energy and moves everywhere. I've been taking quite a few shots of her, and suddenly she stood still and looked at me. This is the best picture of the serie, and as I want to practice portrait, I chose this image as the picture of the day.
