365 Days Photography Challenge: Fourth Week.

Photos of Aberdeen City, Creative Selfies and Nature

Compromises with clients and other life activities led me to the path of bringing my camera with me on ordinary days. I usually only take my camera if I have a photo session, but (maybe) this challenge brought me to a new habit of taking my equipment everywhere. I already knew that this should be the norm, especially if you do street photography, but I didn’t adopt it as I am obsessed with looking after my camera and I am a portrait photographer.

The week was a mix of sunny and rainy days. Although we have beautiful sunsets, I tried to photograph different scenarios to avoid being repetitive and to force myself to see in new ways. After all, this challenge is about exercising my creativity.

Day 22.

On day 23, I was running out of time for my photo challenge, and I decided to use a red gel on my speed light (flash) and take a selfie with black items to produce a catchy contrast. Yes, that image was captured in camera, and I realised that I must make this clarification as a client was thinking that it was made in post-production.

Day 26.

On Saturday (day 27), I went to the cinema to watch Poor Things. I am not a novice regarding the work of Yorgos Lanthimos, but it looked like some people were there without knowing his previous works and they were shocked. One even left the cinema, which I found funny. I took the opportunity that I was in Aberdeen to capture one of the structures that I love in this city and that is clearly underrated, in my opinion.

Day 27.

On day 28, I had an unexpected photo session. I only work on Sundays under exceptional circumstances, and I had no time for the post of today. Therefore, I did a self-portrait to complete the challenge.
