'The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier
to buy’ by Yves Saint Laurent. I
couldn’t agree more. Jesus wants us to be passionate for life and for the
things we do. Either be hot or cold, but don’t be lukewarm. When you come up
with an idea, make that decision to give it your all.
Besides, loving Jesus, part of my
passion is photography. I
give my photography business a good chunk of my time. It is still at the
beginning stage, but I need to make it a success and the only way to do that, I
have to be passionate about what I do. Part of that means taking workshop from
the photographers I admire.
Recently, I took a workshop on producing magazine
quality photos with striking poses and Photoshop. Then, I took another workshop
on special effects to make the photos look extremely interesting.
Yesterday, I met with one of the models
and she told me a modeling agency likes my work. They want to print the photos
I took of her and asked if I would consider working with their models. I am
really excited!
Today, I want to share what not to wear in
a photo shoot:
- Busy patterns. It can make you look like you weigh more and it’s distracting to the eyes.
- No pure white: This causes glare and can make you look washed out.
- Avoid BIG logos, shirts with wordings, BIG numbers: These are all distracting. Modeling agencies want to notice you, so you shouldn’t compete with your shirt for their attention.
- In group photos, make sure everyone color coordinates, so the focus is on the family instead of the one person who has the odd color out of the whole group.
- Bring props, your favorite hat, jewelry, shoes, umbrella, etc. It makes the photo interesting and fun.
