Weekend Photography

Hi all.

Wednesday each week will be when I upload a new post.

Over the weekend my sister decided she wanted a new Facebook profile picture which of course meant she needed me to do her makeup and take the photos (lucky she has such a talented sister like myself). Photography is kind of a hobby of mine so I didn't really mind to much even though it was a Sunday evening. I am not saying that I'm a very skilled makeup artiest or that I take the most amazing photos, it's just something I enjoy doing and I take pride in it. All the things I've learnt about makeup has been through YouTube tutorials, I watch a LOT of videos haha

Anyway in 2013, I think it was, I purchased an SLR camera. When I first purchased the camera I wanted it so I was able to take good quality photos at music concerts I was attending (mainly One Direction haha). There is just something about live music photography that intrigues me. You are able to catch so much emotion and can tell a story with just one shot. When you see an artist live and they are singing a song that they have an emotional connection with their faces tell a story and show what their soul is feeling, or when they are on stage doing what they love most and they look out onto the crowd and a smile consumes their face you can see who they really are and how happy it makes them, capturing that exact moment is thrilling to me, it makes me smile :) Maybe I should study Photography or something but I've never been keen on studying.

I'am not always able to attend music events so at this stage my focus as slightly shifted to talking photos of people (I don't know how else to put it) I guess its portrait photos? Basically I do my sisters makeup all nice and pretty, dress them up and take lovely photos. I'am fortunate enough that my house is out of town and surrounded by a big beautiful garden, so I'am spoilt for choice when it comes to photo locations. Majority of the time it's me wanting to play with makeup so my sister are my test subjects, but then there's times when my sisters want a new fb photo and that's what happened on the weekend.

I'am don't have the latest fandango photo editing programs, I don't even own a laptop, all I use to slightly edit and enhance my photos is an online editing website. So far it is doing the job just fine because I don't ever feel the need to majorly edit or alter my photos (well not yet anyway).

These are just a few of the photos I did take on the weekend, the makeup is just simple, nothing to out there. This is my sister in our garden.

Have a lovely day XOX
