Random Faces. Portraits. Candid Photos.
Ladies and Gents, welcome to another session as were down to the last two chapters of my Bonded by Blog photo compilation, in celebration of Shot n’ Roll Anniversary. Welcome to Chapter 2: Random Faces.

Random Faces, Candid, Portrait, Street and Onstage Photography

Chapter 2: Random Faces is all about taking photos of different people, in different style and different field. In short, Portraits! Let’s capture the moments, show those sweetest smile, bring out the head banging and unleash the Rock n’ Roll Attitude. \m/

Here’s an outline on what’s inside this chapter.
1. Studio Portraits
2. Candid Photos
3. Indoor/Events Portrait
4. Outdoor/Street Portraits
5. On Stage Photos

Before we proceed, let me show you the Wiki definition of what Portrait Photography is all about…

Portrait Photography is a kind of photograph where a person’s face is the focus, although the entire body and the background may be included. A portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the camera.

So without further ado, let’s roll this chapter to the 1st one, Studio Portraits!

Here’s some of the shots taken inside the studio. To give you a guide and more accurate settings, use a Light Meter.Here’s what the Light Meter says on our set (with Studio Flash):
ISO 100
f/8.0
1/125 sec
I’ve just increase the ISO to 200.

Now in the contrary to Portraiture, which is defined as your subject is looking directly to the camera, here’s where Candid Photography comes in…

Random Faces, Candid, Portrait, Street and Onstage Photography

Candid, or most commonly known as Stolen Shot, is best described as unposed and unplanned. These are wonderful photographs that shows moment and emotions of ones subject.

On Stage Photography

One of the best place to take Candid photos is here, on-stage! \m/

On Stage photography, is a combination of 2 genres (Candid and Low-Light Photography) which brings a lot of  challenge to produce a rockin’ beautiful output. Taking on-stage shots is not easy as you see. Not only you wait for the right moment, but also, you watch out for the settings to achieve the right exposure. \m/

Art, Abstract, Still Life…
Ladies and Gents, welcome to the next chapter of my Bonded by Blog photo compilation as we celebrate 1 whole month of Shot n’ Roll Anniversary. Welcome to the Chapter 5: The Picture Underneath.

The Picture Underneath, Art, Abstract, Still Life Photos

The Picture Underneath… I guess you Shot n’ Rollers out there is damn curious about what the heck is this all about. Literally, this chapter simply means The Picture Underneath your Subjects, or should I say, “the picture behind the picture”.

Consisting of 3 different sections, Chapter 5: The Picture Underneath is all about Art, Abstract and Still Life Photography. The top 3 genre where Shot n’ Roll is most interested.

Creative thinking and Artistic vision. The 2 major keys to unlock the gates of Art. If you have these keys, then you’re insane! Send those keys here coz I definitely need one! Hehehe!

Since this chapter is divided into 3 separate categories, I now bring you to the 1st one. Let’s cut the chit-chat crap and get serious! \m/

What is Art? – Wiki says…
Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions.
It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings.

The Picture Underneath, Art, Abstract, Still Life Photos

Definition problems:
Art Photography? Wiki says
There are no universally-accepted definitions of the related terms “art photography,” “artistic photography,” and “fine art photography,” as exemplified by definitions found in reference books, in scholarly articles, and on the Web.

Since there’s no universally-accepted definitions, I’ll just use the two definitions that can be found in reference books.
“Art photography“: “photography that is done as a fine art — that is, done to express the artist’s perceptions and emotions and to share them with others.
“Fine art photography“: “the production of images to fulfill the creative vision of a photographer. … Synonymous with art photography.

So here it is ladies and gents, I now give you my 8 shots of Art Section (including the 1 above). Check this out! \m/

Abstract Section

According to the web, there is no standard, universally accepted definition of Abstract Photography. However, to put the limits regarding this topic, here’s the 2 statements that we may use to define this section.

* Abstract photos does not represent the subject in a literal way.
* Communicates primarily through form, color, and curves rather than image detail.

The Picture Underneath, Art, Abstract, Still Life Photos

In addition, Abstract Photography communicates to the viewer primarily through the viewer’s emotion and interpretation towards the subject. It is important to notice that the definition did not say that the subject matter had to be unrecognizable. It is true that, in some abstract images, the viewer can not tell what has been photographed. However, that is just one type of abstract image.

Still Life Section

Still Life Photography is the depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects. It gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition.

The Picture Underneath, Art, Abstract, Still Life Photos

Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Knowing where to look for propping and surfaces also is a required skill.

Black and White photos, Random shots, Different subjects…
Ladies and Gents, welcome to the next chapter of my Bonded by Blog photo compilation as we celebrate 1 whole month of Shot n’ Roll Anniversary. Welcome to the Chapter 6, Two-Colored Visions: The Art of Black and White.

“Not all colorless is lifeless.”

Brief description:
Monochrome describes your subject in one color or shades of one color. Monochrome images in neutral colors are called gray-scale or black-and-white.

Black and White color combos are something that we rarely see around. Some people didn’t appreciate the art and beauty of it coz of it’s dull and pale illustration, but as for Shot n’ Roll, the simplicity brought by monochrome is beautifully undeniable.

Two-Colored Visions, The Art of Black and White, Photography

Brace yourselves ladies and gents, coz after seeing this one, you’ll be craving for more colors, which would be my next post. So for now, whether you like it or not, I give you my black and white photo gallery.

23 shots, 4 subjects, mono-chromatically executed for your black and white viewing pleasure. Check this out!

Paint it Black. The best rock track for this mono roll gallery.

4. Determine your Foreground and Background
5. Use any tools/equipments you got there

7. Be creative and artistic.

REFLECTIONS
- When it comes to reflection, Mirror is the first one. This is the most commonly used in taking self-portraits. See Self-Portrait shots nos. 1 to 4.

Self-Portrait Shot #1: Using the mirror
