💜 Emotions in Lilac 💜
Today I bring you this beautiful young lady and some of her quinceañera photos! In my country, it’s a tradition to have a photoshoot when a girl turns fifteen. Styles change over time, but generally, some things remain the same, like the use of gorgeous party dresses — some more extravagant than others.
The girl I’m sharing with you today is one of those who leaves you wanting to photograph her even more, and who also brightens up your day.
Her dad is Cuban, but both she and her mom are Swiss. She absolutely loves Cuba, so she takes every chance to come visit, although she confessed that sometimes the weather is a bit too much for her, as it’s very sunny here.
What we loved most about her was her positivity and her joy. She had zero insecurities about her body or her braces — and you can’t imagine how happy that made us. We could see how beautiful she was, and we feared she might be an insecure girl, but nothing could be further from the truth: she gave us 150% the entire time.
Those of you who, like me, work in portrait photography know how hard it is to work with someone who doesn’t like how they look. You see them, but they don’t see themselves, and that always makes me a bit sad.
Standing out in a photo goes far beyond a pretty face or a sculpted body. I promise you, it’s so much more about attitude .
Warm greetings to everyone!
📸 Portraits full of emotion.
💫 A story behind every smile.
💜 A lilac aura of creativity and magic.
🕺 An attitude that makes the difference.
🌍 Cultures that blend beautifully.o.
Interesting story.
No one likes how they look, trust me, there's always something we'd like to change, or there are a lot of things we would like to change, but we can't. Some are affected more than others and in your line of work, lack of self confidence can cause a lot of trouble I suppose.
Yes, of course, we almost always have things we’d like to change, but sometimes it’s just plain terrible. Over the years, I’ve seen it all, and there are always cases that surprise me — not the typical “oh, I’d love to have curly hair” that I’m referring to, but rather a kind of self-bullying that feels awful and sad.
It’s hard to explain: when a person subjects themselves to a portrait session and is so harsh — really harsh — with themselves. It’s as if they came to take a photo just to confirm that they are “ugly?!” — according to their own self.
That’s not too common, though unfortunately it happens more often than one might expect. The “my arm looks too fat” or “could you fix that tooth?” — that’s normal😄. But then there are days when people come in and you just don’t understand why they’re even there.
Sometimes it seems like they’re looking for something they can’t find in the mirror, like they want to confirm their worst thoughts about themselves, and that really hurts.
In those moments, photography stops being a nice memory and becomes something more like a personal judgment. And as a photographer, you’re left without words, because no matter how many lights, angles, or frames you use, nothing can change the way that person sees themselves 😞
This is exactly what I wanted to say. I don't understand these people, but I suppose these are the energy vampires you find everywhere. I'm not a professional photographer and have never done such photo shoots but I know people who are, as you say, self bullying themselves, just to make you feel sorry for them and comfort them all day.
In your line of work however, whatever you say or do, you can't really lie to the camera and post production can only do a limited adjustment so I really feel sorry you have to deal with so difficult clients. Some are really hopeless 🙁
