Some time ago I had a conversation with my sister and she wanted me to take pictures of my niece. It was hard enough to find some time for this shoot... and even harder to find the right time of the day for taking pictures.
Two weeks ago we finally agreed on a day for this shoot, it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon... the sun was a little too high for my taste but I think the Contax did a great job, especially with the Portra 160 VC. The TRI-X 320 was the wrong film for this time of weather... I should have known better, still some shots came out decent enough. I’m just not a big fan of that film.
Let me know what you think!
Honestly, I realized how hard it was to shoot her, its not like she would smile on command... so I had to get creative :) and start cracking some jokes.
I also realized how much she had grown... and how I should see her more often.
Here I think I was asking her if she had a boyfriend :)
I really like this one...
and especially this one! I think it shows something very deep about her stare.
And a softer side... while making jokes about her Grandma.
As we continued, I think she became more relaxed in the pictures.
Yes a reflector would have been a good thing to have... just enough to soften the harsh shadows... but I still like it the way it is.
I think this will be the favorite in the family, not mine but in general :)
Hope everyone is doing great!
I just came back from a bachelor party las weekend on an island... sounds fancy but wait until you see the pics :)
Take care!
