We all know that a photo shot straight on is far less interesting that one with a more creative angle. This week over at iheartfaces, this is exactly the focus. I can honestly say that I hardly ever shoot straight on…when shooting for clients I have to force myself to remember to shoot some shots straight on because the average consumer isn’t always impressed with a “crooked” or artistic portrait of Johnny! Unfortunate, but true! So after digging through my images, I decided to shoot a new one.
I laid in the mulch…and if you knew how much I hate mulch [or sand….or dirt] you would know that even for me [who shoots weird angles all the time] this was outside my comfort zone. And I am still picking tiny bits of mulch out of my hair and pockets.
I used PSE to do some minor edits. I increased the flare, lightened her face just a little [enough to see her expression] and softened the entire image.
Make sure you head over to iheartfaces and check out more of the entries…there are some very creative angles!

Really like the flare and low angle.
She is so cute. Way to lay in the mulch for the shot.
It was worth getting down into the wood chips. It makes her look like she is so high.. Great Job.
She's such a cutie, Lindsay! LOVE the flare and her expression.
