Yay it's Gallery day again, as set by Tara at Sticky Fingers. This week's subject is portraits. Not my strongest photographic subject by a long way. So I thought I'd give you a very rare moment, and post a self portrait. So this is me (notice the inches of slap on my face? LOL. I rarely wear this much makeup) I'm always at the other side of the camera, so I'm never in any photographs. This is from last year, and my hair is quite a bit longer now.
I also wanted to show this photograph of my youngest. She was sitting in the dog's bed by the patio doors. The light was lovely and she was away with the fairies LOL, but she just looked so cute at the time.
Yay for patio doors! Winter would be a photographic wasteland without them - a life without catchlights is unthinkable :) Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love portrait photography.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - just gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThey are both such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe one of your daughter is particularly lovely. The light in her eyes. The soft focus. Gorgeous. The self portrait one is good too - did you use a self timer or did someone else take it? I like the way you are looking directly into the camera. Challenging and confident.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful photo
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.:0)
ReplyDeleteBoth stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteAt last I can comment, it wouldnt let me earlier. She is stunning, I love her eyes and the light, so fantastic and you look pretty good yourself too!
ReplyDeleteyour eyes are so the same xx
ReplyDeleteYou indeed have the same eyes and if there was a prize to win for most beautiful photo you would win it for the photo of your daughter. Absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat amazing photos! Two beautiful girls x
ReplyDeleteps my posts still not showing - do keep popping in to see me - am trying to get our office IT guy to sort it all for me Grrrrr!
Embrace your face, Annie - it's the textures and the landscapes of the face that are the most wonderful things about them
ReplyDeleteThank you. The one of me was taken with a point and shoot held at arms length. I just stared into the camera and click. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. If she knows I'm taking a photograph, she is the most un-photogenic kid I've ever seen.. she grimaces LOL. If I can catch an unaware shot, it usually comes out pretty good. Thanks for your kind comment
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain Diney! I hope he gets it fixed for you. I have been popping over but no updates. I take it your back in the bloggisphere again now? Glad you didn't vanish
ReplyDeleteVery true words from a true portrait photographer ;) The problem I have is that the valleys are getting deeper on my face, they're starting to look like glaciers LOL
