Dirty Brits* Strike Again

I think I love taking pictures.Some friends wanted to do a photo shoot (to submit some pictures for this ad contest), so I offered to take the pictures. We only had a small rectangle of white space so it was kind of tricky to find the picture... plus the camera started to run out of batteries so we had to move fast.

I don't understand lighting but I'm suddenly interested in learning.

I just got so into it. Calling out poses, or like "tilt your chin up" or "relax your eyebrows a bit"

The whole shoot can be found here.

*Dirty Brits = my official photography company (with Steph). Official? you ask suspiciously? Why yes, and if you don't believe me, look at all our legit comments around the site!

I love taking pictures too. Can you take photo classes? Because you'll learn about all that fun technical stuff like lighting and also probably get access to great equipment. Or do you already do that and I am just out of the loop?

Sophie!

Jolly good post! Perhaps this'll draw in some new clients - I'm running out of Diet Coke.

That looks so fun! I looked at the whole set and a lot of those pictures look really great!

Larissa said...

Oooh, I wish I knew how to take great photos.

Dirty Brits is a fantastic name, by the way.

@Jess- no, I've never taken photography lessons before. I never knew I liked it!

@Queenie. I know, right. Let's contact that guy to take nudes.

@Steph and Larissa: you guys are the best.

Looks like a good time. If you ever need hunky guy models, you know where to find me.

Hey, do you control how many letters are on your word verification thingy? Because 37 letters is a bit much, Lise. I'm getting tendonitis.

@Miss A: by ignoring all my other duties. I'm a huge let down to everybody but myself. See? Easy!

@frogster. You wouldn't get it. It's a generational thing. Go buy an ergonomic keyboard or something. Geez, I don't know.

I wish I was a much better photographer, too. I don't think I have much of an "eye," unfortunately.

Lisa said...

I love Dirty Brits, if I haven't said it before. Are you going to pursue photography? Go, Lise!

Good luck with the lighting, I took classes on that. It is a lot more complex than it seems!

Taking pictures is fun! :)
