The eye

This was a hard working week-end, shooting effectively hundreds of close-up photos of eyes with contact lenses (7 models, about 50 lenses, 3-4 shots for each). Tiresome but rewarding, commercial but without pay, Fun stuff.

lot of eyes

During the photo session I developed a theory: interested in cosmetic contact lenses seems to be girls with beautiful brown eyes and girls with less-than-beautiful but non-brown eyes. Probably a try to fit a social norm and a corrective action.

I can understand someone is not happy with her eye color, hell, I am not with mine, I can also understand someone’s curiosity about a new eye color, but I can’t understand why someone with beautiful eyes would prefer a complete fakery (duh! those lenses are so unnatural!) only because she does not have the “perfect” color (I think is obvious I find the natural form of some of the eyes above to be really beautiful).

I started with great expectations and blew everything up with my bad mood, but still managed to snap a few shots with traditional costumes.

Given a parade with a pack of cheerleaders in front… of course you must have in fron of them the leader of the cheerleaders, right?

My bad joke is like: if her name is not Enache already, it should be. Laptaria lu’ Enache. Sorry, but I think she its impressive and I believe all natural. +1.

I tried hard to get the best shot, so hard that in the end I got noticed, which reduced the "candid" impact. So is life… too many people crossing the road, not enough chanced for a clear shot.

My sweet cherry pie…

OK, those are not regular cherries, they are sour cherries (Romanian: vișine) so they are not just sweet but sour and sweet and with a kick-ass flavor (harvested from my garden), making them even better for a cherry pie.

Blue chicory

Some time ago I set myself the target to try shooting a chicory flower as best an I can so a few days ago in the morning, I saw from the windows of the tram a chicory bush on the side of the road. It was to late to try something that day, and in the evening when returning was already too dark. The next day I was in a rush, so skipped again, but the third day I finally took the shoot: left the home earlier, walked instead of using the tram and enjoyed the photoshot:

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.

I got the opportunity to remake this shot.

The benefits of a sunny morning after heavy rain are not only about taking close-up of snails but also the great opportunity to catch some beautiful rain drops on the petals of the roses in your garden.

Closing my portrait series of photos taken at the car and bike salon, naturally I should choose the one I like the best. Why I label this one as the best may be probably a not easy psychological thing to answer.

The wonder of flash photography

I think the only way for me to take this portrait properly was using an external flash (strobe), of course, with all the needed precautions (softbox, bounced).

Too bad for the lenses…

Even if I am a hi-tech guy living in a digital world, I think some things are the best in their natural form, according to me the portraits below are somewhat ruined by the obviousness of the bad contact lenses. But arguably, this does not ruin the portraits, which remain an accurate testimony of the captured world, they ruin the image of the models.

Another beautiful portrait, this time a blue eyed redhead wearing a red shirt. The operative word here is "red".

The goth girl the other day was to much for you? Then let’s ease the pain with a complete opposite, a beautiful, sweet and delicate blonde, one of my favorite portraits (so far):

There are various types of faces to show in a portrait photography, and everyone has his own preference: some prefer a "honest" trampy look, fantasizing about the possibilities, which in such cases may appear more realistic:

and some prefer the illusion of innocence, even if that is only a façade and they know it, fantasizing even more:

…and all of them are beautiful. Of course I have my own preferences, but I shoot and post all, trying to not make them obvious… what are yours?
