Portrait photography: Tough day in the office

It was a tough day in the office yesterday. I had to take some time out to photograph a colleague for some promotional material we are creating.

I used my new AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2 lens. I was a bit nervous as I haven't used it for portraits yet. In fact, I don't have much experience in portraits at all.

Anyway, I was quite happy with the results. Here are a couple of the images. They're my entries in this week's #portraitphotography contest by @juliank.

I just posted my second video to DTube. It's called Astral journey from tablelands to ocean.

Sort:  

the smile of the person we are photographing will add to the beauty of the photo. so the model should smile a lot @atnicholson ha ha

That is true. The person I photographed here is very good at smiling for the camera. She has had many photos taken so is quite used to it.

still smiling although hard to live.
but that's a great result.
I like the results of your photo 👍👍👍

Ha. I was just joking when I said it was a tough day in the office @aneukbawang. It was really quite fun, but it was very hot and humid so we could not stay outdoors for too long.

hehhehe ... take a good angle for a photo easily easy, if new beginners usually we use auto focus. often often take a lot of pictures later will get used. photos in this post is also good

Nice preety photography
