For many photographers, the decision to capture images in monochrome is more than just a stylistic choice – it's a way of seeing the world through a unique lens, one that strips away the distraction of color and allows the mind to focus on the fundamental elements of light, texture, and form.

When I first began exploring black and white photography, it was like gaining a new set of eyes. Suddenly, the world around me took on a different dimension, revealing patterns, shapes, and contrasts that had previously been obscured by the kaleidoscope of color. Ordinary scenes became extraordinary, their essential details and emotional resonance amplified by the absence of hue.

Shooting in monochrome requires a keen awareness of tonal values and an appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow. It's a discipline that forces the photographer to slow down, to really see and compose each frame with intention. The lack of color strips away distractions, allowing the eye to zero in on the core elements of the image – the lines, textures, and shapes that form the backbone of the composition.

But black and white photography is more than just a technical exercise; it's a way of perceiving and interpreting the world. By removing the chromatic information, the viewer is invited to engage with the image on a more abstract and emotional level. Monochrome images have a timeless, almost ethereal quality that can evoke a sense of nostalgia, mystery, or contemplation.

For me, the true beauty of working in black and white lies in its ability to reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. A simple fence post, a weathered barn, or a lonely stretch of road can take on a haunting beauty when rendered in shades of gray. It's a process of distillation, of reducing the visual noise to its essential elements, allowing the photographer to capture the very essence of a scene.

Embracing the monochrome vision is a rewarding journey, one that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to see the world through a different lens. It's a testament to the enduring power of black and white photography to inspire wonder, evoke emotion, and challenge our perceptions of the world around us.

Tips for portrait photography

Essential Tips for Capturing Stunning Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is an art that requires a balance of technical skills and a keen eye for capturing the essence of your subject. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a beginner, understanding the nuances of light, composition, and interaction with your subject can elevate your portraits to new heights. Here are some essential tips to help you capture stunning portraits.

1. Master the Lighting

Lighting is the cornerstone of great portrait photography. The way you light your subject can dramatically influence the mood and impact of the photo.

Front Lighting: Lighting your subject from the front is a technique that inspires clarity and confidence. It evenly illuminates the face, reducing shadows and blemishes, which results in a clean and bright portrait. This type of lighting is perfect for headshots and professional portraits where you want to convey a sense of approachability and sincerity.

Side Lighting: For a more dramatic and character-filled portrait, light your subject from the side. Side lighting creates depth and texture, highlighting the contours of the face and adding a sense of mystery or intensity to the image. This technique is excellent for artistic portraits where you want to capture the emotional depth of your subject.

2. Choose the Right Background

The background of your portrait can either complement your subject or distract from them. Always aim for a background that enhances the overall composition without drawing attention away from the subject. Simple, uncluttered backgrounds work best. You can also use shallow depth of field (achieved by using a wide aperture) to blur the background and keep the focus on your subject.

3. Focus on the Eyes

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and in portrait photography, they are crucial. Ensure the eyes are in sharp focus, as they are typically the first thing viewers notice. Catchlights (reflections of light in the eyes) can add a sparkle and bring your portrait to life. Positioning your light source to create catchlights will make your subject’s eyes more engaging.

4. Experiment with Angles and Composition

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles and compositions. Shooting from a slightly higher angle can make your subject’s eyes appear larger and more expressive, while a lower angle can add a sense of power and dominance. Use the rule of thirds to place your subject off-center for a more dynamic and interesting composition.

5. Communicate and Build Rapport

Great portraits capture the personality and essence of your subject, which requires a level of comfort and trust between the photographer and the subject. Spend time getting to know your subject, make them feel at ease, and guide them through different poses and expressions. Genuine emotions and relaxed poses will result in more natural and compelling portraits.

6. Use Reflectors and Diffusers

Reflectors and diffusers are essential tools for controlling light in portrait photography. Reflectors can bounce light back onto your subject to fill in shadows, while diffusers can soften harsh light. These tools are especially useful for outdoor shoots where the lighting conditions can be unpredictable.

7. Post-Processing

Post-processing is the final step to enhance your portraits. Use editing software to adjust exposure, contrast, and color balance. Retouching can help remove blemishes and imperfections, but remember to keep it subtle to maintain a natural look. Enhancing the eyes, sharpening details, and adjusting the overall tone can make your portraits stand out.

By mastering these tips, you can create portraits that not only capture the physical appearance of your subjects but also convey their inner character and emotions. Whether you’re shooting in a studio or on location, the key is to experiment, communicate, and always be mindful of how light and composition can transform your portraits.

#04 ‘created by j-hope’: masterpieces by a master storyteller

in this note on ‘j-hope songs as art’, i’d like to feature an artwork by j-hope himself, a triptych of photographs he took while in new york, captioned ‘NY vibes’ (IG, 31 december 2022) for ‘on the street (solo version)’.

‘photo by j-hope’ is one of many ‘created by j-hope’ artefacts to me because his natural talent in photography is as admirable as his genius in music. he has this exceptional ability to assemble various artistic elements (visual, lyrical and sonic) in a single composition with no hint of dissonance. consider how his music is characterised by a mix of genres, linguistic and literary techniques in his lyrics and lyricism and innovative use of ad libs and beats, to name a few. his photographs are just as brilliantly composed.

we know he loves and dares to experiment in music and he does it successfully. it is the same with his photography and with its beautiful results, proven by his polaroid era (which needs to make a comeback if you ask me). these NY photos while seemingly straight-up cityscape visuals, showcase his mix of natural talent and skillful use of techniques, most evident in how he uses the triangular composition in the photos to establish leading lines, symmetry and balance with the shape. additionally, they have much symbolic significance to his song ‘on the street (solo version)’.

in the classical tradition, triangular compositions were used because they created a sense of balance and harmony by arranging the subjects in a stable overall geometric form. triangles are inherent in perspective and in still images especially, create dynamism that adds visual interest to them. they guide the viewer’s eyes from one corner of the frame to another, thus encouraging a longer engagement with the photos. in j-hope’s triptych, each photo bears the triangular composition, reflecting momentum and direction even as they are still images. viewed individually and collectively, they also vividly represent the repeated line, ‘everytime i walk, everytime i run, everytime i move’ in the chorus.

photo 01 shows a couple of traffic lights and signposts at a street intersection where traffic flow transition takes place. the implied triangle shapes and overall composition, with the slight, low angle emphasise the buildings in the background, towering over the viewer. this illustrates the overwhelming feeling that comes with being at an intersection (literal and figurative) where decisions must be made for changes to happen, making this photo the perfect visual accompaniment to these lines in verse 2 of ‘on the street (solo version)’:

photo 02 is a shot of the brooklyn bridge from afar, its triangular composition more evident and its colours brighter than in photo 01. the viewer’s eyes follow the length of the bridge even as they look up to the sky and down at the water. there is a sense of liberation and that tight, crowded sensation in the first photo has eased off as well because now the towering buildings are pushed further into the background. this image is an apt illustration of these later lines in the same verse:

photo 03 almost envelopes its viewer in darkness, except for the triangular strip of light in the middle that highlights the buildings and part of the bridge seen in photo 02. j-hope captured a chiaroscuro (a classical painting technique that creates high contrast between dark and light, to put it very simply) moment in this photo that aptly conveys the idea of ‘dissonance’ (i.e. contrast and difference) in time and experience (‘knowing the path’ vs ‘walking it’), mentioned in these lines:

i’ve always loved j-hope’s photography style (which i discussed briefly in ‘With j-hope, IG stands for InGenious’). there is no official information on whether he has ever taken formal lessons on the art form but that is neither here nor there; what is more valuable are his keen visual instincts, evident in his photographs. it is no surprise at all how he has moved very comfortably and excellently, from still images to film, proven by his dance documentary, ‘HOPE ON THE STREET’. his ‘created by j-hope’ masterpieces - his music, his photography, his documentary, his product designs (among many other j-hope creations) - just prove what a master storyteller and visionary he is. i look forward to when j-hope puts up a photography exhibition, publishes his own photobook and even features his photographs as cover art for his future solo albums.

Day 27 of @storyweaverofgondor's cats-pril - background. I found this as a writing prompt incredibly challenging and I definitely went off piste, but I hope it was a fun read anyway! Also on Ao3 here.

..

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Misto laughed as Tugger, once again, called for a break, slumping down on a nearby rock. The forest around them chittered with life, but there definitely wasn’t another Cat for miles.

He did and he didn’t. Hiking was, undoubtedly, dreadful, and Tugger hated it. Walking was fine, but an endless uphill slog was not how he envisioned today going. He wasn’t unfit, not by a long shot, but it had been two hours and they still weren’t there!

“Of course!” he replied stubbornly. He did desperately want to get to the end of this hike. There, according to his research, was a beautiful hidden waterfall, which would make the perfect backdrop for what he had planned. The internet had made out like the path there was an easy stroll, not this Everest climb! But the plan was the plan, and Tugger had meticulously thought out every other detail.

“Do you want me to carry something for you?” Misto joked. He could and would actually do it though, Tugger thought. Being a principal dancer at the ballet meant his boyfriend was in god-like shape. Additionally, he actually enjoyed hiking.

“I’d say my heart, but you already have that,” Tugger said, blowing him a kiss. He received an eye-roll in return.

“You’re a terrible flirt,” Misto groaned, but he was definitely trying not to smile. “Come on.” He took Tugger’s paws and easily pulled him upright again. Tugger kept hold of one of them and swung it as they walked. It was worth it, really, to see Misto enjoy himself so much. He chatted mindlessly as they followed the forest trail further, telling Tugger all about his last rehearsal, the birds they saw in the trees, the cake Tugger baked last week… this, that, and everything, really. Tugger engaged as much as he could whilst trying to hide how much he was panting for breath. Misto only chattered uninhibitedly like this when he was completely comfortable with whoever he was around, and Tugger was insanely proud to tick that box.

Finally, FINALLY, after another 20 minutes that felt like 20 years, they rounded a bend and came face to face with the waterfall. Misto let out a little gasp, dropping Tugger’s paw as he darted over to the little pool beneath to get a closer look. Tugger gave as big a whoop as his strained lungs allowed, and dived into his backpack to pull out the massive camera and tripod he had brought. Misto looked back, and snorted at the sight.

“No wonder you’re exhausted, lugging all that around with you! What’s wrong with a couple of phone shots?”

“Oi! It’s a heck of an achievement I made it up here, I want high-quality evidence of this moment!”

This moment, that would hopefully be so much more than reaching the finish line. Tugger clicked everything into place, making sure the shot would be perfectly lined up, before tapping the record function.

“Sparkles! Take a photo with me!” he called, bounding round in front of the lens. From here, the camera would perfectly capture them, with the pretty waterfall in the background. Tugger may look slightly dishevelled, but Misto looked glorious, and there was nothing a touch of photoshop couldn’t fix!

Misto smiled, and came over to where Tugger now stood. He turned to face the camera, but Tugger manoeuvred him so they were facing each other, camera on the right, waterfall on the left.

“Trust me,” he murmured, seeing Misto’s quizzical look.

“I do, I just didn’t realise you were into photography all of a sudden. Not that that’s surprising, mind you.”

Tugger laughed. True, his interests and hobbies changed like the tides, all except one – the interest-turned-love he had for the Cat before him. The one and only Cat who had ever made him keen to settle down.

“Close your eyes,” he murmured, floating one paw over Misto’s eyes, the other over his own pocket.

“What are you up to?” Misto smiled, but closed his eyes anyway.

Oh, Everlasting, don’t get scared now!

Everything around them faded into the background. Tugger took a deep breath, and got down on one knee. He pulled the engagement collar box out of his pocket, and took Misto’s paw in his own.

“Open?” he said, trying to sound braver than he felt. A pause followed, in which Tugger was too nervous to look up.

“T- Tugger?”

“Marry me?” Tugger asked, gathering the nerve to look up into Misto’s eyes. A wide range of emotions crossed his face, from surprise, to amazement, and eventually to joy as he nodded furiously. He had teared up a bit, which seemed to be stopping him from actually saying anything, but his grip on Tugger’s paw was unbelievably tight. A lump rose in Tugger’s own throat as the weight lifted off his chest. He rose to his paws, grabbed his new fiancé, and lifted and twirled him in a circle, cheering all the while.

“Yes!” Misto managed to gasp, laughing at Tugger’s exuberant display of pure delight. He tugged the box to see the collar closer. “Put it on?”

Tugger did, and felt his own eyes get dangerously watery as he clasped it closed around Misto’s neck.

“How do I look?”

“So beautiful baby, you have no idea.”

Misto laughed, and pulled Tugger into a kiss.

Tugger hated hiking, but this was worth it. The camera should have caught every second of this perfect moment, and he doubted anything would ever sour his mood again! Not even realising he now had another two-and-a-half-hour trek back to civilisation.

Product Photography: what it is and how to choose the most suitable one?

In the world of e-commerce, where the visual reigns supreme, product photography emerges as a pivotal factor in driving sales and establishing a brand's identity. It's the art of presenting your products in their best light – quite literally – to entice and engage potential customers. In this blog post, we will delve into what product photography entails and provide insights into choosing the most suitable approach for your specific needs.

Understanding Product Photography

Professional photography is more than just taking snapshots of your merchandise; it's an art form that requires a keen eye for detail, mastery of lighting, and a deep understanding of your product and target audience. The goal is to showcase your product in a way that not only accurately represents its features but also evokes emotions and desires in your potential customers.

Good product photography goes beyond a simple representation of the item. It tells a story, creates an experience, and communicates the essence of your brand. Whether you're selling clothing, gadgets, food, or any other product, the images you use significantly impact how customers perceive your offerings.

Choosing the Most Suitable Approach

Selecting the right approach to product photography can greatly influence your brand's success. Here are some key factors to consider when making this decision:

In-House vs. Professional Photographer:

In-House: If you have a limited budget, you might consider taking product photos in-house. This involves setting up a basic photography area with appropriate lighting and a quality camera. It gives you control over the process and the ability to make quick adjustments. However, it requires some skill and knowledge about lighting and photography techniques.

Professional Photographer: Hiring a professional product photographer brings expertise and a refined touch to your images. They have experience in capturing products in the best possible way, ensuring optimal lighting, composition, and post-processing. This option is particularly beneficial for complex or high-value products where every detail matters.

Lifestyle vs. Product-Centric:

Lifestyle Photography: This approach involves placing your products in real-life scenarios, demonstrating how they are used in context. For example, if you're selling outdoor adventure gear, your products could be showcased in the midst of a camping trip. Lifestyle photography adds a relatable dimension and allows customers to visualize how the product fits into their lives.

Product-Centric Photography: This style emphasizes the product itself, usually against a neutral background. It's commonly used for e-commerce platforms where a consistent and distraction-free presentation is essential. Product-centric photography is perfect for showcasing intricate details, textures, and features of the product.

White Background vs. Custom Background:

White Background: The classic white background is a staple for e-commerce. It ensures your product is the center of attention and eliminates distractions. This approach works well for a wide range of products and maintains a clean and professional look.

Custom Background: If you want to infuse more personality into your images, custom backgrounds can be a great choice. They help create a specific atmosphere or enhance the product's story. However, be cautious that the background doesn't overshadow the product itself.

Consistency: Maintaining a consistent style across your product images is crucial for brand identity. Consistency builds trust and makes your website or catalog feel cohesive. Whether you choose in-house or professional photography, ensure that your images have a unified look in terms of lighting, composition, and post-processing.

Editing and Post-Processing: No matter the approach you choose, some level of post-processing is typically required. This can include color correction, retouching, and background removal. Balancing the editing process is essential – you want your products to look their best without appearing overly manipulated or unrealistic.

In conclusion, product photography is an indispensable element of your brand's visual strategy. It's the bridge between your products and your customers, conveying quality, value, and emotion. When deciding on the most suitable approach, consider your budget, the nature of your products, and the story you want to tell. Whether you opt for in-house photography or collaborate with a professional, remember that the goal is to create images that not only sell products but also leave a lasting impression in the minds of your audience.

Start Early and Do Your Research

Begin your search for the perfect wedding photographer early in your wedding planning process. Seek recommendations from friends and family who have recently tied the knot. Additionally, explore online portfolios, read reviews, and view sample wedding albums to gauge a photographer's style and expertise.

Consider Your Style

Every couple has a unique style, and your wedding photos should reflect that. Discuss your preferred style with potential photographers. Whether you lean towards traditional, contemporary, photojournalistic, or a mix of styles, finding a photographer who aligns with your vision is essential.

Meet and Connect

Arrange meetings with potential photographers to get to know them better. The chemistry between you and your photographer is crucial, as it can make the photography process more enjoyable and natural. Ensure they listen to your ideas and understand your priorities.

Review Their Portfolio

Request to see a complete wedding album from a past client to get a sense of how the photographer captures an entire event. This will help you assess the consistency of their work and their storytelling abilities.

Discuss Packages and Pricing

Budget is a significant consideration when choosing a wedding photographer. Be upfront about your budget and discuss package options. Ensure that the photographer you choose offers a package that aligns with your needs and budget constraints.

Ask About Backup Plans

Inquire about backup plans in case of unforeseen circumstances such as equipment failure or illness. A reliable photographer should have contingency plans to ensure your day is documented seamlessly.

Read the Contract Carefully

Before signing any contract, read it thoroughly and ask for clarification on any terms you don't understand. Ensure the contract includes details like the number of hours of coverage, delivery timelines for your photos, and the rights to your images.

Magic School Bus kids + Eeveelutions

Arnold: Glaceon (male). There aren’t any rock-type Eeveelutions, but Glaceon does have crystal-like markings. Arnold probably names him after a blue or aquamarine mineral.

Ralphie: Jolteon (female). Very temperamental. Has guest-starred in several of Ralphie’s short films. (In the chapter books, Ralphie does photography as a hobby, so I’m incorporating that into this headcanon.) Loves playing fetch.

Keesha: Espeon (male). Very keen of sight and sharp of mind— just like his Trainer.

Phoebe: Leafeon. A perfect fit for the class’s nature lover. Often curls up on Phoebe’s lap when she’s doing homework, or accompanies her on hikes. A cinnamon roll through and through.

Carlos: Umbreon (male). Very playful, especially at night. Likes to be scratched behind the ears and on the stomach. Sees battling as a way to play and let off steam.

Tim: Vaporeon (female). Probably the most gentle of the class’s Eeveelutions, but he’s still not to be messed with. Enjoys “helping” Tim with his art (Translation: just sitting there while Tim does all the drawing). Would rather sleep than engage in a battle.

Wanda: Flareon (male). Here, Trainer and Pokémon are a perfect match in personality. Both adventurous and feisty. Both forces to be reckoned with. However, Flareon is scared of loud noises like thunderstorms and vacuum cleaners.

Dorothy Ann: Sylveon (female). Very neat and organized. Enjoys stargazing out on D.A.‘s balcony. But don’t let Sylveon’s pretty looks fool you: she’s a tough opponent in a Pokémon battle.

Also worth noting: D.A.’s Sylveon and Carlos’s Umbreon get along really well. Sometimes they even get along better than their Trainers do!

hello,

could i get some tips for a scaramouche (genshin impact) fictionkin?

thanks

Most certainly, friend!

Scaramouche appreciates fleeting things like the elegance of a falling leaf or the luminescence of a dying star. Take moments to appreciate the impermanence of the world.

Sharpen your wit and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Debate philosophy, delve into historical mysteries, or explore the intricacies of magic systems.

Scaramouche's rage is a mask. Explore the well of emotions beneath – the loneliness, the yearning for connection, the lingering grief. SAFELY!!!

While known for destruction, Scaramouche also possesses a keen artistic eye. Try expressing yourself through a creative outlet – photography, music composition, even a well-crafted insult.

While Scaramouche pushes others away, he also finds a strange comfort in isolation. Explore activities that allow you to recharge in solitude – meditation, stargazing, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea.

Scaramouche may scoff at friendship, but even he craves a genuine connection. Look for those who understand your complexity and appreciate your wit, even if it comes with a barb.
