Earlier today, I was testing out the lighting setup for a corporate portrait session. A friend of mine asked me if I could photograph her because she needed a new professional photograph for her LinkedIn profile. While setting up the lighting, we talked about how much we hate it when someone takes a photograph of us. Ironic... I know.

So, I wanted to demonstrate how "easy" it was to take your own picture with my iPad that I use as a remote. When I pressed the timer, I looked deep in the camera with a strong "blue steel" poker face. And at that moment... I burst out in laughter. Who was I fooling? It felt really uncomfortable.



C A M E R A   D E T A I L S

Camera Sony A7 MARK II
Lens Canon 50 mm USM L f/1.4
Shutterspeed 1/125
Aperture f/2.0
ISO 250



Anyway, when I checked the photograph, I realized there aren't that many photographs of me where I genuinely laugh, or laugh at all. And... at the end of writing this post, I'm asking myself why I'm posting this?

Cheers,
Ruben
