Thought I'd share a few self portraits! I actually wanted to take a self portrait on film which I did (you can see it here) but I was a bit weary of wasting the film so I did some test shots on my digital camera first and hey I actually liked those test shots so I thought I'd share :)
I wish I could capture my normal expression. You know the whole, resting bitch face thing, I think I have something more like, resting worried face. In high school teaches would always single me out to ask me what was wrong, or what it was I didn't understand from the board, to which I'd probably look even more confused and reply that I was okay. Yup, so resting, worried face :p
In other news, two more days and then we leave for Japan for three weeks, I'm super super excited!! I have one more blog post lined up, it's pretty cute(!!) and then you'll probably have a very long blog silence from me whilst I sort through my Japan photos and get to blogging!!
I have resting worried face, too! It's the worst. Everyone always asks me if I'm okay. So I feel your pain! These photos are adorable, by the way. And how exciting that you get to go to Japan!
ReplyDeleteoh so good I'm not alone here!! It makes me feel super paranoid about how my face looks and probably creates a real worried look worrying about it :P :P We should start a club!
DeleteWhat a pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about resting worried face - I got (and still get) the same questions.
'Um, I'm actually fine?'
'No, really - how are you?'
Grrrr.
lol, another worried face-er!! Yay, we shall unite in our uncontrollable face!
DeleteCool self-portraits! I struggle with keeping up a normal expression in my self-portraits too. I seem to have this permanent frown on my face...
ReplyDeleteand hey it takes more muscles to smile right, so your face is obviously just super easy going and relaxed!! :) :)
DeleteWaaaaaaaaah Have fun in Japan! I am very much looking forward to your photos x
ReplyDeleteI think you are beautiful Fee. Very beautiful
so many photos to share!!! yay for Japan! Thanks for your sweet comments too!
Deleteomg. Have the best time in Japan! And eat lots of Kitkats. Also, those portraits are lovely. I think you look thoughtful, not worried.
ReplyDeleteoops no kit kats, although we did buy some as gifts and then went down a treat :)
DeleteThese shots did turn out great! Are you still planning on doing some on film too?
ReplyDeleteAnd that is great news! I am looking forward to all the pictures already:) Hope you'll have a fantastic time in Japan!
I shamefully took 1 and half rolls - oops! I really struggle with having two cameras at once. I think I need to commit to film for one our next trip!
DeleteCute as ever :)
ReplyDeleteI so understand the face, though I'm told mine is grumpy lol, constantly being told to cheer up when I was a teenager. I think I was labeled much more angsty than I really was haha! I will remember not to ask if you're ok if you're looking worried hehehe
Also - JAPAN IN 2 DAYS!!!!!! How insanely exciting!! :D :D
Safe travels you guys, have amazing kawaii fun, can't wait to hear all about it :) 💕💕💕💕
Awww, it sucks hey, makes you all paranoid! I promise to not ask you if you're grumpy either :P Although if one of us slips up, I'm sure we'll handle it graciously!!
DeleteLovely photos Fee, you're so beautiful! Have a wonderful time in Japan and I can't wait to see all of your travel pics. :) xo
ReplyDeleteyay super thanks Sarah and Japan was amazing!!
DeleteI think these shots turned out great. You have a resting pensive thoughtful face. Enjoy your time in Japan!
ReplyDeleteOh I like that description! :)
DeleteI think I have a resting worried face too!! Everybody would always ask if I am okay thinking I am not okay at all when I am totally okay!!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous, love these self portraits. Any tips? I'd like to try it out myself!
I feel super happy knowing I'm not alone here :) mmm, tips, I think definitely test out your set up with a digital camera first, put something in the position where you'll sit to focus on (I think I used my camera tripod bag) and don't use a super wide aperture (to help make sure you get yourself in focus!)
DeleteSuch pretty portraits! I love your worried face. People at work always tell me that I have a readable face, so that's pretty annoying sometimes :) Super excited for you, 3 weeks, woopsie! that's a whole lot of pictures (I wish) to share afterwards! Which cameras are you bringing?! I know by now you are already there, so I'll patiently (who I am kidding? hahahha) wait for your answer :) Say a big hi to Japan and tell them we miss it so much, but we will be there soon! <3
ReplyDeletereadable face! Opps, you're giving everything away!
DeleteI ended up bring my 1000f canon film camera (though I only shot 1 and a bit rolls!) I also bought my 35mm holga and shot even less on that one - double fail! I crazily also bought my instax and I think I shot like 5 photos from it (are you seeing a trend here :P). I didn't bring my iphone, which I kind of regret and of course I bought my digital and two lenses. We didn't have many kilos to bring with us on the plane so I decided to go with my 85mm and my 50mm but I ended up really missing something wider - would of loved my 35mm but it's pretty heavy! I really struggle shooting film when I have my digital camera with me. I'm much more confident with digital and it becomes my safety blanket - I need some tips from someone who successfully shoots both!! Any tips??
lol! i think i tend to have a resting worried face too. so many people would single me out and ask "what's wrong?" and since i tend to have a quieter personality when i'm with a bunch of people the "what's wrong?" would be followed by "why are you so quiet?" ugh.
ReplyDeletebut japan! so so exciting! can't wait for you to share your adventures! have a great time!!
So funny to hear so many of you guys have it too!! I shall think of you guys when I get asked the question and know I'm not alone :) :) If only we could program out faces to do a normal expression :)
