This is what happens when I get bored

Was chilling at home the other night. Got tired of playing video games. There was no NBA game on. My YouTube watch later list was caught up. I didn’t feel like watching a movie or tv show. There was not much else to do besides get out the tripods and lights to take some photos of myself.

Taking some photos is exactly what I did. Four tripods, four different lights, and myself & my iPhone. The same combination of equipment and personnel as usual. I would take photos of other people, but this night I was once again the only option. If you can’t stand to see shirtless photos of me, then why are you even reading this?

I’m guessing you’re still here and you are indeed able to appreciate quality portraits. There’s plenty of that for you today, just take a look at the photos attached to this post.

My plan for this one was to include my colorful clothing and shoe racks as the background. Then use my two colored led lights to add even more vibrance to the background. Then I used my two remaining lights to emit a natural light to highlight my face.

It’s both incredibly fun and an absolute pain to set all of this stuff up every time, if only I had a studio that was always ready to go. For now, I continue to make do with what I have.

Posing is the hardest part about taking photos of yourself. I have 10 seconds to strike my pose before the photo timer completes. Each shot has me awkwardly moving around until I finally find my place. It’s pretty comical to watch I’m sure, but it’s only me so no laughs were had.

I totally love how colorful these all turned out. That was the goal and I think I definitely accomplished it. I don’t take photos of myself daily, but I try to make it a somewhat common occurrence. Every week or two seems fair. This is a great way to track my progress in terms of fitness and aging. It’s also just a whole lot of fun and gives me something attractive to share on Liketu.

If you enjoyed hearing a little bit about the process and especially the results, then feel free to drop a comment and let me know. This will not be the last time I post photos like these, but who knows when the next time will be...

For the best experience view this post on Liketu

Hehehehe this is so me on a Saturday when I am totally jobless😂😂

Posing is the hardest part about taking photos of yourself.

It sure is but you’re most comfortable when doing it all by yourself .

It's nice to have the time to do fun things like this when we are bored. Posing alone does seem to be a bit easier than in front of a crowd.

Even though you were bored, you were still able to get something done and talk about your day...
Well, anytime I'm bored, I always make snaps or make up my face to see if I have improved in it

The drama filled ones are very captivating with the blend from what could be normal.

Very nice shots dear. Yes You are right, I also became boring while using too much vedios, insta, youtube. For keep ourselves busy, having photography is also a good option.

Thanks bro. I think the fact that I'm covered in colorful art makes it easier for me to be photogenic.

Even if you don’t have a studio for portraits, this is already okay. I’m kinda envious a little that you have a space to set up your tripods. In my house, I don’t have such space. 🥲
It would have been more fun if we see the behind the scenes. 😅

You'd be shocked that I manage to maneuver everything to have space. My apartment is very small compared to the average-sized one here where I live. I am smart about how I use my space though. I assume that Japan's housing is far less spacious than what I'm dealing with now though. I feel your pain.

I'll take a pic of the setup next time.

Yeah, I can't go nuts on buying a lot of furniture or appliances because it's really so small. It's also very small if you're living with someone. We have to be smart in arranging the house.

I'll take a pic of the setup next time.

Nice nice! I hope you do!

I wouldn’t like having to share my already small space with someone else.

Your tattoos looks so beautiful. This is also a good way to kill my boredom, next time I will try this way too. 3rd picture is my favorite in your photography. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks my friend. I am lucky to have had so many talented artists leave their mark on my body in the form of tattoos.

You are very fit. I too would like to do some exercise every day, but when I get home from work I am too tired. Your Venom shirt is beautiful

I know that feeling. My fitness training was much more difficult when I was working on my feet 40 hours a week. Getting away from that environment was a great decision, but it was not easy.

I could probably pretend to know a little bit about capoeira, but I actually know nothing besides what I've heard on podcasts 😆

It's been quite some time since I was posting yoga photos. A small part of me misses it too, but mostly I'm glad to have moved on from yoga. I don't know, something about the vibe at yoga studios just doesn't fit who I am very well, at least the ones here where I live. Then again our most popular studio in the area regularly serves alcohol, it makes no sense to me. Blasphemous to the yoga community honestly. I mean who needs a glass of wine or a beer while they are doing yoga? It's counter-productive.

Yes, I always enjoyed yoga classes when done in the teacher's home space or outdoors. Never felt comfy in studios. I suppose that was a yoga fad studio with alcohol etc. ;) I'm sure your serious students miss you.

I’ve experienced some good classes out in an open grass field.
