This weekend felt like it both dragged and flew by. Very bizarre. J and I spent all of yesterday indoors; we ordered Chinese food, drank champagne, and watched Netflix. Riveting stuff, I know. I've really been slacking on taking my camera with me around the city. The iPhone has made me lazy like that. Anyway, I wanted a few pictures I could use for "About Me" pages or the like, so I had J take these of me wielding the Contax. I also snuck in this picture of my new "wine" colored cloche. It's almost too cute for me.
P.S. The lovely Ilona Joy interviewed me for her blog a few weeks back - check out the post here!
how cute are you? perfect light!
ReplyDeletep.s. lots and lots of sharing of wedding pics this past weekend...people are obsessed with your mad skills :)

Great photos!
ReplyDeletewonderful portraits, love the last one. & your hat is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I really like the lighting and soft tones here. BTW, I love your blog...very inspirational :).
ReplyDeleteQuestion: how do you achieve the milky feel of the lighting AND still maintain a good sharpness and contrast of the subject? I am really interested in this type of editing. Do you use a certain preset, and do you actually change the tones a lot?
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
@Bobby, I've been dabbling in the VSCO film presets for Adobe Camera Raw. Then I'll adjust to my liking! The trick of course is to always start with a well-exposed and lit image in the first place.:)
ReplyDeletegreat shot, may I ask is that a compass hanging round your neck?
ReplyDelete@Jin Han, it's a light meter ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alice - that's quite useful:) Surely lighting is crucial to begin with, and apparently that's why I keep chasing it. Ah, I sometimes get scared of how damn easy photography is; and how obsessive...
ReplyDeleteOkay, back to what I am supposed to be doing (writing).
What a cute post! What kind of light meter do you use?
ReplyDeleteThe burgundy cloche looks fabulous on you. Highlights your good bone structure. Wear it with pride.
ReplyDeleteI love the shots, both yours and your friend's. You look so beautiful!
