windswept by blanklives windswept by blanklives
I finally got up the nerve to take self portraits in public.. I felt like I was wasting away this amazing opportunity to take the beach shots I always wanted to, and life is too short.

And I know I have way too many faceless photos, but I never seem to like photos with my face in them.

Are you kidding? I love pictures where your face is in it! I think you have a beautiful face :) You should do more where you are facing the camera

thank you :) Yeah, I still am too. The beach was pretty empty, and everytime someone came around I always pretended I was photographing the ocean or something haha.

I didn´t like my face in pictures neither, for a long time.
but a few days ago I took some pictures, and the one on my front page is probably one of very few I really like. It really is worth it to "risk" something, to do something you were afraid of.

Your picture is really nice :aww: Yeah, I always look kinda weird when I try taking portraits.. or if I find one I like the lighting is never great. :/

Yeah, I figure that really there is nothing to lose. The worst that could happen is people might look at me a bit weirdly, but I'll never see them again haha. I'm thinking that later I'll get up the courage to ask a stranger if they could model for me.

What I am really afraid of is going outside and take picture on the street. I can't imagine taking pictures of strangers. And I have to. Because I am studying journalism and we have these courses where we have to take pictures. And the teacher said we have to ask people if they agree to us taking pictures, if there are less than 5 persons.
I would rather take pictures of buildings and flowers and stuff, than people I do not know.

That does take a lot of guts doing that, I know I can barely ask my friends to model for me haha. But I guess in photojournalism you're not asking the stranger to model but just to have permission to photograph them. One of my friends took a photojournalism class and she said that most people are fine with that, some might want you to buy them some fast food or something though as a 'payment' if they're homeless. Good luck, love. I'm sure everything will be alright :hug:
