The Color, Click, Capture Color Photography Challenge – Week 3

by

Our color photography challenge this week is YELLOW.  

Here are my yellow photos:

Our Photography Tip this week comes from Faith Massey:

Faith Massey owns and operate Images by Faith Portrait Art, a boutique studio nestled in the Lake Norman area, just outside Charlotte, NC. Her passion for art started early and she explored many different mediums but found her true love in photography after having my first child in 1994. After moving from California in 2004 she opened her studio in Huntersville. As a mother of 5 beautiful children, she is very comfortable working with babies and new parents alike. Her style has been described as natural, refined and unpretentious and she loves to highlight every sweet detail of children,using primarily natural light to capture the soft sweet beauty found in children.

When photographing small children, get out from behind the camera….  Children, particularly young children, react to your facial expressions. If they can’t see your face, they are less likely to make eye contact with the camera or have the expressions you are looking for. Try to engage with the child and move the camera up quickly, take your shot and then move it again quickly so you keep your subjects engaged. 🙂

Our color for next week is GREEN.

  1. I love baking, but that cookie really inspires me to work on my cookie decorating skills. With all the colors, I love that yellow steals the show while complementing the others.
    The 2nd picture reminds me of a day at the park with an independent child and a supportive parent nearby. Great Job!

    • Thank you! 🙂 I did make them. I used to have a small cookie business and still make them for family and friends.

      The dough is a much denser dough so it doesn’t rise like a sugar cookie. I’m planning to post the recipe and instructions one of these days (when I get some time on my hands, haha).
