Portraiture

Recently, I enrolled myself in photography classes, but I have to admit, I have not practiced what I have learned as much as I should have.  I often ask myself which kind of photography would I love to be immersed in.  Early on, I developed a liking for landscapes, but not only are they fickle, they require a lot of travel.

Oh how I wish I can live in my suitcase.  That is one luxury I will always dream of having.

Apart from landscapes, I am absolutely in love with portraiture.  I wish I can see more faces — or rather be brave enough to approach strangers — and make them last longer.

Here are some celebrity portraits that I just adore.  Can you name them all?

Audrey Hepburn
Ben Stiller
Dave Franco
David Bowie
Kevin Costner
Liv Tyler
Lucy Liu
Marion Cotillard
Meryl Streep

  2. I know how you feel. Being able to travel a lot sure does help with photography. It gives you plenty of chances to capture great images, especially if you’re into landscapes. Right now, I mainly do still life since it doesn’t take much effort in a sense that you don’t need to travel or get a model to work with. But it does require great knowledge of different set ups of lighting. Enjoy your photography class. I really enjoyed mine while it lasted.

    • I am looking forward to learning more about lighting this year. You’re right; still life is the way to go should I still be financially crippled to travel. But I am very thankful to have makeup enthusiasts for friends. Hahaha. They never tire to have their photo taken!

      Happy new year! :)

Lemme know what you think.
