Reintroduce myself: for the naysayers

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

I know there are followers there on my list, that doesn’t really believe I am the person behind the camera.

I also know that many people out there even think that I am not the one in the pictures and that I’ve done nothing to prove my identity, be it only steemian way.

So to all of you naysayers, I give you my first, EVER, photoshoot! And because it is about me I decided to have a version of each photo I take, in monochrome. I like to play with compositions and digital manipulation sometimes.
I took the shoot indoors last night and I took the time to make the best compositions I thought suits me.

I am quite an introvert because of my former way of life. I am still learning to open up to new people. Though I ask for the opposite when I shoot, I am shy in front of the camera.
During my younger years, back home, I saw the same things for hours, days, months. The trances I was sometimes getting out of Church and prayer, took me far away in my mind. I traveled a lot back then, somehow in my own virtual reality.
Today I have the luxury to discover those places really exist. While my television access was strictly under control and in very small doses, somehow my own mentality took me to places I never saw until later.

Through the lens of the camera, I find different situations, different styles of life that both interest me and frighten me. That's why I buy different lenses. That's why I need to buy a tele as I said earlier.

Now this post for me was a challenge. My appartment is pretty small and I had to find different interesting situations in which to pose. Both me and my tripod went through a series of critical situations during the shot. What's more to add is that I think that this could be a self portrait photo-challenge and maybe, why not, I could make it once I have some more steem power.

I have to say that this steemit thing got me all excited lately and I am starting to take it more seriously. So I'm waiting from you guys to give more feedback on what kind of photography YOU think I could take on and why not, point challenges for me. I'm still young on the platform and I'm always looking to explore more on socialising in this new, cool way.

Haters gonna hate... and lovers gonna love :). Don't worry about the haters we lovers outnumber them on steemit

Lovely post. I find that many photographers, myself included, find it difficult to feel comfortable in front of the lens. Probably, because we dont trust anyone else but ourselves to take the shot. Anyway, seeing your self portraits I can say that you have no reason to doubt yourself. All the best.

Welcome! I look forward to learning more...

The thing about naysayers @vargart is that they are only relevant if you respond to them. Cut your own path and leave them bleating behind you like sheep.

well said.

I love these pictures @vargat, you're just so far away, I woulda booked a session. nice meeting you here on Steemit

You're pretty. Welcome to steemit and I hope you have lots of fun(and earn money too. Lol) posting blog's and interacting with people.

Yep it happens a lot. Seems to be the more beautiful the woman the bigger odds it is not her. Shame but quite true. I don't trust pretty images too much myself but I will still enjoy the posts!

Hello there, beautiful photography woman, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and your photography is truly perfect. Beautiful green eyes and flower tattoo.

green eyes??lool i have brown eyes ..but thx anyway

Or maybe hazel? My eyes are maybe close to brown like yours but some people have told me that I had green eyes. So, I have been a bit confused about this kind of thing all my life.

lol.... you don't like brown eyes?

Hey, girl, I love brown eyed girls, too. There is that famous song about brown eyed girls. I find almost any color of eyes beautiful as long as the eyes are beautiful. You know that beautiful eyes are beautiful when the color of their eyes are very vivid, sharp, shinning, like diamonds, whether that be green, blue, brown, black, etc. And you do have beautiful eyes indeed.

(8) alalala long....alalala long.... looking in your eyes, looking in your big brown eyes (8)

Girl, when I lived in Hawaii, people were like madly in love with Bob Marley. Yeah, thanks for sharing this video, girl. Yeah, I am looking in your big brown eyes. I want to make you sweat. Oh, I am not sure if I have heard this song before but I am starting to like it. Oh, wait, I have heard it before. This makes me smile. You make me laugh. Very fun. Maybe I can become the next Bob Marley.

Keep it up :D it is good to put yourself out there

Hi Vargart, do you enjoy shooting in nature? One thing I haven't done yet is trying to shoot at night with over exposure.

You should do more selfies, you seem to have a very natural appearance on camera. Plus I'll follow you if you keep doing that! Do you have someone helping you take the photos or do you use timers?

I'll check your blog posts out. I also do photography btw if you want to check out my most recent.

thx a lot @zastels ,yes i like a lot to shot in nature,and for my selfies i use tripod and remote most of the time ..

wow beautiful girl follow now 😱😱😍😍😱

follow you back ..

Hey there! Just keep going. You might get where you want faster by doing your thing rather than stopping every time someone tells you that you're not real. Time will reveal everything.

I saw that you and @catalincernat have some photos of abandoned places. I'm also interested in exploring places like that. Maybe you can share some tips with locations in our lovely country? If you don't mind that is. :)

Welcome, again, should I say? :)

Thx again??:-)

Stunning, Great photos and post!

Thank you mikepedro!!
