Top tips on how to take portrait photos! – *Snigger*

Submitted by The Imperfect Mum on Fri, 27/04/2012 - 03:46.
History: Kelly (I.M 2) and I used to work together here. Kelly was the production editor, I was the Creative Director.
 
Scene: We had taken our kids to Macca’s Redlynch, Cairns. We had already been there 3 hours- Happy kids = Happy Mum’s..
 
Me: “Hey Kelly I need you to take some new photos of me.  “My hair has changed so much so I need an updated pic”
 
Kelly: Ok, then when do you want to do it?
 
Me: “Oh ummm.. we could do it now”?
 
Kelly: *Confused look* What! Here?
 
Me: “Yeah I will just whack some lippy on”.
 
Kelly: “All I have is my phone”.
 
Me: ”That’ll do, even if there just practice ones”.
 
Kelly: Ok, well sit over there, there is a chocolate wall that’ll be a good back-ground.
 
Me: Cool.
 
This was the result, how bloody HILARIOUS! we couldn’t believe it! – obviously they are low res.. But the lighting (in some) and background were perfect!
Ohhh and I would LOVE your opinion on which one is your favorite? (I have mixed up the numbers.. So not good at this technical stuff..

I just love photo 1. It's my favourite. But in saying that I also like photo 2 as well, it looks very sophisticated :)
