Since I bought a camera, today was the first time my wife asked me to take her photo (before that, I was just trying to persuade her 😂).
We chose several locations, but today I'll tell you about one of them - a small park with a lake in the center of Pattaya called Lala Lake.
When I arrived, I immediately realized that there was catastrophically little light: the sky was covered with clouds, and there was a slight haze in the air. An idea immediately popped into my head - I would shoot in black and white. The colors would still be faded, and then I would have to "pull" them out in Lightroom, losing the naturalness that is so important to me.
From the very beginning of the shoot, we began to argue about which angle to choose and in what pose to take the photo. In the end, we decided to take a few shots the way she wanted, and a few according to my idea.
For some reason, she chose a suit for the shoot that looked more like pajamas 😅, but I didn’t argue — it was her image, her idea, and I decided to support her choice.
For me, this was not just a photo shoot, but also an opportunity to experiment with camera settings and different angles. I wanted to understand which parameters are best suited for such difficult lighting conditions.
In the end, 90% of the shots were unsuccessful — but this is normal for a beginner photographer! The main thing is experience.
From all the shots, we chose one photo that we both liked. It will become the final shot of this post.
Thank you in advance for your attention, support, votes and comments! 📷✨
All the photos were taken in Thailand 🇹🇭 - the city of Pattaya! 📷
I write my texts myself, correct mistakes and translate via ChatGPT (which is not a violation on Hive)!
Thank you for sharing these moments with me! Until new stories and new holidays!
All photos were taken by me personally - I am a beginner photographer, so I ask professionals not to judge strictly.
