Sensing The Photo Blogger In Me

Photography... Is not about amateur photographers, oh no!
It is about to tap all the senses. Yup! Even the sense of touch & sound ;-) 
Amazing by Grace eh? 
Well, I'm about to shoot the photo! If you see it, you feel it, you taste it, you hear it, you can talk about it by leaving a comment.
Ok, food my favorite topic, you can 'taste' it. I have eaten food but rarely  tasted good-looking food, you know a chef's speciality like the ones that the cameras have acted upon. Tell me when you have tasted photo foods and whether it looks like the taste, ok? With the exception of gyros, doubles, roti with curry duck & pelau, my opinion doesn't matter, because the photos sure taste delicious, yummo! With all sense of humility, I must confess now if you have not guessed already, that I am just an amateur photographer trying to write a photo blog.
Wedding photos, details, especially the rings matter, so can you 'see' it? The  decor, the cake, the bridal dress the groom & his bess man ;) Touch the camera, apply various shutter speeds, do u 'hear' songs of photography ie click flash? Noise commanded by motion sensors in the camera to shoot moving subjects, and yes, shadow means 'noise' to the professionals! 
Portrait photos are by no means simple! Masculine portraits differ significantly from feminine portraits pose although there are minor similarities. Both use a common backdrop colour of white, black or green. 
In masculine pose, the head is tilted slightly to the lower shoulder while in feminine pose, the head is tilted forward slightly to the side of the upper shoulder. The straight face towards to the camera is used for business. There is seven-eights & three-quarters head tilt and profile angle for your information. I happen to be around photographers, what a co-incidence for my personal knowledge sensing expansion! 
Hair light is common for both to give some shine & texture. 
In studio portraits, if the colour of the shirt or top is white, the more preferred option is a  contrasting backdrop colour such as black otherwise the subject's clothes will blend in & the face being highlighted will look fatter. Contrasting backdrop colours make the subject look slimmer. For more slender facial portraits, the subject's nose is pointed towards the main light, casting a shadow from short lighting, so that broad lighting is not the preferential choice for most women. Keeping the arms away from the body also gives a more slender pose.  A photographer can easily choose to capture or not capture a woman's double chin. You get the 'feeling'? Shrieking with laughter, a boyfriend will either want to touch or not touch this woman's face whether in dream photo by virtual reality, or physical realm! And, a man is bound to talk about a 'metro' woman in any rumshop after a few drinks, lol.
