In fact, to the point where I really need a new photo to accompany my bio (my old one is over 6 years old), but I have almost considered hiring one of my portrait photographer friends to shoot it for me. I just don't like how I look in pictures -- I have way too many awkward facial expressions and bad angles. Oddly enough, I seem to look best from straight on, and smiling. I'm too old and vain to enjoy seeing myself in pictures. Too bad I never took any of myself when I was younger and cuter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-black-1#post-1308958 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:22:14 +0000 Frances 1308958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the lovely comment Janet!</p> <p>I hear you on the "perfection" issue. Portraits are my favourite genre of photography though, so I usually enjoy selfies. I use a remote for my Canon 600D, which makes it a lot easier! That said, selfies are a whole lot more challenging than being behind the lens. </p> <p>Have you ever tried selfies with a remote? It is really quite a lot of fun!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-black-1#post-1308948 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:13:50 +0000 Janet 1308948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frances, you look so pretty, and the black/white/red combo really suits you beautifully.</p> <p>Well done on the photos! Very nice job with lighting and posing. I admire photographers who turn the camera on themselves -- I am a full-time fine art photographer and HATE being in front of a camera (in fact, I rarely photograph people at all). iPhone selfies will just have to do for my WIWs -- I've been called out before for taking crappy outfit photos, but if I pull out a tripod and my "big girl camera" for outfit photos, I know I will quickly go down the rabbit-hole of perfectionism and spend way too much time editing and trying to make myself look modelesque. And I'm far from modelesque. :-/ </p> <p>Your job sounds just marvelous, and those samples you showed are adorable. Isn't it such a blessing to be able to make a living doing work you love? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-black-1#post-1308934 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:59:45 +0000 Frances 1308934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much!</p> <p>I love photography, it's one of my favourite hobbies, so taking outfit photos is fun in more than one way. </p> <p>LACeleste: I am so lucky to have the business I do. We've been in operation for 9 years now and I still absolutely LOVE my work. Between painting, photography, fashion and interior design... I'm a little obsessed with beauty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-black-1#post-1308904 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:21:36 +0000 LACeleste 1308904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;You look gorgeous! &nbsp;Wonderful photos too! &nbsp;I would love the job you have making lovely little things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-black-1#post-1308897 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:16:02 +0000 Alana in Canada 1308897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit--but the quality of your photos are stunning.

I took the chance to pull one of my knee length dresses out again, as I haven't been able to wear them for several weeks, due to the weather.</p> <p>I am a photography enthusiast as well, so I must say I enjoy taking these photos! </p>
