Out of Casual

I am really hoping to get (back) on track with writing. Probably missing putting my thoughts somewhere. That is why I am trying to return to this Blog, - my photography journey or journal.

Somehow my words have been turned to just a photos, without much story behind, but I think "the Story behind" makes (or helps) to look at particular photo differently.

Like these images for example which I would like to share (if there even is anybody out there to read this). But even if nobody reads, I like to keep it as my journal, seeing for myself the progress I am (hopefully) making.

So, - these images are very recent - from very Casual circumstances - without planning to create some portrait Art ...

Signe - my companion (in "4TĀ DIENA" project) as I call her, asked me to help her with taking photos of fashion design label as she was involved with the designer to promote her clothing on various social media. It was also new experience for me as I never done such photos before...   Here you go ...   new things, new opportunities and hopefully some progress along the way ...

Signe that day looked very casual, even without any makeup. There was still daylight outside (background), but already getting darker, so there was light inside too, which made white balancing very difficult. I do it very rarely, but set my camera for Black & White images, saving also raw file just in case. As later doing some few contrast adjustments I was really surprised how beautiful these photos turned out - out of simplicity of the moment - out of casual...

I probably should mention that I really like simplicity and natural in portraits without hiding person (personality) behind style and all sorts of "creativity" as they call it...  
I want to see the real person, with makeup maybe emphasizing person's beauty instead of covering the real one presenting it with fake beauty. But maybe it is just my style of photography I want to keep - to keep it simple and pure.

See - this writing got something out of me - something not planed beforehand to tell, but something I have been thinking for awhile. I really do love writing. It is the way to put together thoughts which "flies around"
