Let’s link up our Week 7 Model Eyes Portraits!

Tutorial for Self Portrait and Model EyesSo around Thursday this week I finally got around doing my make up and hair for the ultimate portrait shoot. The problem presented itself in that I could not find my remote. After numerous attempts to locate it and even involving my husband into the search, I realized it was good and lost.
That, unfortunately, couldn’t stop me from shooting this week selfie. Unfortunately, because it is damn hard to shoot selfies without the convenience of a remote and it takes about 10 x longer to get shot done. I guess I had forgotten how much it sucks shooting without one, because it’s been a long time since I’ve been remoteless.

However, I do not think that really influenced the quality of my images, it simply made it more inconvenient for me to shoot them. It took me about 2 hours and about a pound of sweat to get quite a few decent pictures. Running back and forth between the camera and the location, manually setting the focus by guessing where I ’d be because I couldn’t use a prop since I was shooting outdoors.

I am going to post just the images I am using for this week’s submission, but I will definitely share the rest of the photos I took for this week in other posts in the future.

All in all I had a lot of fun.
Let’s see your model selves!

It was incredibly hard to pick the one to post and I think the top one works the best for this week.

HAPPY SELFIE SATURDAY!

No blogging. One Day. For Japan

Karli from The Bonnie 5 reminded me of a little day project I did a few years ago. Basically, you’re supposed to take a picture an hour and post it as a reflection of your day.

I did two versions, one made of “12 hours of me” and other of just photos I took. It turned out pretty fun!

This would actually make a very fun linky, but I couldn’t find one. So if you feel like doing this project (10 photos , or 12 photos, depending on your day schedule), feel free to link up below. The linky will be open till the month’s end.

{I promised I’d stay away from the blog this week, but it’s damn hard I have to tell you}

Today I will be attempting to do my squinty eye self portrait for Saturday. I have to ideas yet, so i might do something simple. Oh and I lost my remote ( third one already), which is going to make it way harder to do selfies. Boo! Have to buy a new one. I have no idea where they are disappearing.

So anyways, here’s my “a photo an hour” shots. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Karli for a great reminder!

12 hours of ME

12 Hours of THINGS

Couldn’t help myself! I just had to share this video.
It’s so much fun and it makes me miss Fashion Week and my modeling days in NYC.

Note: I am probably taking a little break this week from posting and visiting blogs. However, don’t worry I’ll be back for this week’s Selfie Saturday.

I’m excited to participate in Ashley’s hunt today because I love love love the photos that came out with these prompts.

If you haven’t read this week’s Selfie Saturday tuturial and challenge assignment, make sure you do: Model Eyes

All the shots were taken at Universal and haven’t really taken anything creative besides the Selfie shots, since then, so I am looking forward to picking up my camera more often next week, but taking fewer photos since I am years behind on editing.
