Low-key conceptual self-portrait [ENG-ESP] -MONOMAD ENTRY-
Well, today I bring something very peculiar for me, and although it follows my tendency to dark photography, what distinguishes the photos, in this case, is... that the model is me! Yep, that's me, you can't see me but I know it's me and I'll tell you about it. 馃槣
Bueno, hoy traigo algo bien peculiar para m铆, y aunque sigue un poco mi tendencia a la fotograf铆a dark, lo que distingue en este caso las fotos es... que la modelo soy yo! Sip, esa soy yo, no se me ve pero yo se que soy yo y te lo cuento. 馃槀
I don't like to be in front of the cameras... because I make too many faces! I almost always end up with a very strange expression and running to the bold (almost always a friend) to delete the photo, and I know how much it bothers us, photographers, to be asked that... and it goes beyond being pretty or ugly, mine has no name. I am every photographer's modeling nightmare.
No me gusta estar en frente de las c谩maras... porque es que hago demasiadas muecas! casi siempre termino con una expresi贸n bien rara y correteando al atrevido (casi siempre un amigo) para que borre la foto, y eso que s茅 cuanto nos molesta a los fot贸grafos que nos pidan eso... y va m谩s all谩 de ser bonita o fea, lo m铆o no tiene nombre. Soy la pesadilla de modelo de cualquier fot贸grafo.
So, I looked for an alternative! ...I covered myself! ...no more funny faces!馃槀 For days I wanted to do a session like this in black and white in a low key, but I don't have a studio, so at home, I looked for a black vinyl for the background and with a light from a cell phone that I placed on a small table, I prepared my cell phone as a shutter release with an app for it, and that was it.
As铆, que pues busqu茅 una alternativa! ...me tap茅! ...ya no hay muecas! Desde hace d铆as quer铆a hacer una sesi贸n as铆 en blanco y negro en clave baja, pero no tengo un estudio, por lo que en casa, busqu茅 un vinyl negro para el fondo y con una luz de un celular que apoy茅 en una mesita, prepar茅 el m贸vil como disparador con una app para ello, y listo.
The reason why it was a close-up portrait is precise because I was posing in front of the camera, somehow I forced myself to stay serious so close to the lens.
In the end, I managed to make several portraits without covering myself, ufff, I think they were pretty good, but I will put those in a post I want to do together with my husband, who also made me as a model but with more "formal" portraits because they are also for his work.
El objeto de que fuera un retrato en primer plano, viene precisamente por posar frente a la c谩mara, de alguna manera me obligu茅 a mantenerme seria tan cercana al lente. Al final, logr茅 hacer varios retratos ya sin taparme ufff馃檭, creo que quedaron bastante bien馃槄, pero esos los pondr茅 en un post que quiero hacer de conjunto con mi esposo, que tambi茅n me hizo de modelo pero con retratos m谩s "formales" pues tambi茅n son para su trabajo.馃
Valid to clarify that, as the great Joaqu铆n Sabina said, 篓como te digo una co te digo la o篓 and, although in the photos I appear with a feeling of oppression and bitterness, it is not like that at all 馃槀, because I greatly prefer to be behind the camera than in front of the lens and that's how I am happy. 馃槃
V谩lido aclarar que, como dijo el grande de Joaqu铆n Sabina, 篓como te digo una co te digo la o篓 y, aunque en las fotos aparezca con una sensaci贸n de opresi贸n y amargura, para nada es as铆, pues prefiero enormemente estar detr谩s de la c谩mara que frente al lente y as铆 soy feliz. 馃構
Pd: I am writing this with one hand and holding a bunch of potato chips in the other while I think of the million photos I have to edit. 馃槄 OMG
Pd: Esto te lo escribo con una mano y en la otra sostengo un mont贸n de papas fritas mientras pienso en el mill贸n de fotos que tengo por editar.
...See ya!馃槣馃
...Ah! Gracias Abelito! loviu bro 馃馃馃槝
