Hi guys,
So I have been doing some paid work recently for friends. I have been learning lots and really enjoying it.
- Barber shop, photos of them cutting hair.
- Friends baby shower. Natural candid shots.
Here are a few of my photos I have taken recently.
I love the blurred background look.
When we were at the baby shower they had a backdrop against the wall and they wanted photos. I wasn’t keen on this as I wouldn’t of got the blurred background shot I liked and to be honest, because I am new to photography I couldn’t get my settings right and they came out abit blurry. Think I just needed to bump my F Stop up.
I just felt like they could of taken those types of shots on any sort of smart phone?
I then took them outside and I got some really good shots, with a great blurred background which they were all happy with.
I was out with my sister this weekend with my camera.
She wanted a cute picture of my niece stood against the wall. My reply to her was ‘just take it on your iphone, my camera isn’t good for shots like that’. Is that the wrong attitude? Or is it just because I am only good with settings when it comes to blurring the background?
Would you notice the difference between a shot on my Canon camera, and an iphone? Bearing in mind the photo would only really be looked at on the phone and on social media.
A friend has messaged me to take some photos for her salon. Of her clients. She specialises in really bright colours and wacky hair styles.
So I messaged her and said shall we go to a forest and take some cool pics, maybe use smoke grenades etc.
She messaged back and wants some in her salon, she has a backdrop and props.
I don’t know if I am experienced enough for this. I do have LED lights. I used to use them for my YouTube channel
Or maybe because I am so used to doing my preferred headshots with the blurred background look I just need to step outside my comfort zone and experiment?
The only lens I have at the moment is Sigma 18-35mm 1.8.
Hopefully this thread makes sense.
As always, thanks for your help guys
