I learnt so much from the last portrait shoot. The lens distortion is very very real… man those hands will look huge if a smidge too close to the camera… you are literally pulling as much away from the “camera” as possible.
But the main lesson… was ATTITUDE. Seriously you have to look INTO that lens like you mean it. For me I learnt that creating and stepping into a character helped…. personally I dislike having my picture taken. This is why I’m the photographer…but I had a very strong feeling that I was now on a journey of self discovery…
This I call simply Daisy. And when I posted it on social media I said something like
”If you are going to take a self portrait with a daisy, look into the lens with so much conviction no one will ever question you”
Which then prompted offers to to the same… which was soul filling ❤️
