Hello to all my friends in the black and white community. I hope you are all doing well and that everything is going smoothly wherever you are. I'm Manti, and this time, with one of my friends sporting a hip-hop style, we're here to share some of the photos I took. This street style, with its baggy clothes, jeans, a hat, and a pair of sneakers, was ready for some cool shots.
Without delay, I started photographing. My first suggestion was to have him sit down and capture a shot from behind. I really liked this angle and asked him to slightly lower his shoulder for a better composition. This "three-quarter shoulder" effect is achieved when the shoulder facing the camera is slightly lower and there's a slight bend towards the camera.
A "021" sign, a symbol used by a rapper and adopted by my friend as a fan of the style, was held in his hand. I also asked him to look down, and I took another shot.
In the next photo, I used an element to create an interesting frame, a frame that might be less common or overlooked. I asked him to look to both sides, with our perspective placing him in a small part of the frame at the bottom of the main photo.
The element, appearing blurred and less significant, is positioned behind him. I liked this shot and took two different shots of him looking left and right.
Moving on to close-up portrait shots, one photo is a profile shot, where other factors like color don't interfere. The most important aspect is the feeling conveyed by the photo, which is of great significance.
Wearing glasses is very helpful, especially when photographing your subject facing the light, as it prevents their eyes from being bothered. Overall, it was a very enjoyable photoshoot. I loved doing an outdoor shoot after a long time, which was very pleasing for both myself and my model.
I shared another full-length photo with you, and this entire collection is dedicated to your beautiful eyes, dear friends. As always, I wish you success and health, and until we meet again, farewell.
