I bring you a new topic so you can go get your camera and practice your favorite hobby: photography.
Our Photo Challenge aims to encourage you to practice photography, provoke you every week to spend some time with your camera and let your creativity fly while you practice and learn.
How Photoreto works
The concept of Fotoreto is very simple: every Friday I will propose a new photographic theme. Sometimes I will show you an example photo to inspire you, other times I will simply give you a hint or trick that you can apply when doing the Photo Challenge.
On each occasion you will have 7 days to participate in the Photochallenge of the week in question, until the following Thursday. upload as many photos as you wish to your favorite social network (Instagram or Facebook) without forgetting the hashtag or the label corresponding to the Photoreto in question along with the mention of @blogfotografo. this week will be #photoreto122. You can participate with photos new or label ancient.
Each week we will select a winning image. The author of the photo will have free access to the Photography Masterclass of their choice.
When you participate in the Photochallenge, we understand that you allow Photographer’s Blog to publish your photograph. In no case do you transfer your copyright to us. The author of the image and who maintains the exclusivity of copyright remains you.
Theme of the week: Intimacy (10/08/21-10/14/21)
Deep down we are all a little voyeuristic. I know it sounds bad, but it doesn’t have to be a sensual or erotic scene. We like to observe others, gossip about their lives. We are like that, otherwise how could social networks exist?
Have you ever looked through a keyhole? EITHER interested by what happens through your neighbors window? Gossiped a gossip magazine? That’s right, one way or another, we love it. And that carries over to photos.
We are called by those images in which we are spectators of an intimate moment. There are several ways to achieve this: with a natural frame, using an object in the foreground that is very out of focus, making a very close-up of the scene, with a perspective that puts you in the heart of the story, etc.
Today I want to challenge you to photograph intimacy using any of these tricks or another that comes to mind. The objective is that you transmit with your image that we are facing an intimate moment and that we are secret spectators. Do you accept the challenge?
Add the hashtag #fotoreto122, the mention @blogfotografo and don’t forget to give your photos a title. One of our Masterclasses can be yours, what are you waiting for?!
Update
Today I felt like a peephole spy looking at your photos… Thank you for making the Photochallenge possible for another week. You can see all the participating photos on Instagram and Facebook.
Today’s photo belongs to Silvana SBB Boccardo (@sbb_boccardo) and is titled “Nostalgia for you”.
Seeing this photograph, which unquestionably represents an intimate moment, and reading the title, you realize that in this sense it is round. nostalgic for you. What greater intimacy than such a declaration?
I liked the message, but I also loved the visual part.
Its simplicity and its beauty. It is a minimalist composition, delicate, in the foreground, to get us into the story, but without seeing everything, just a small detail of the scene. More than enough.
A hand in the right place, the ideal perspective, a light that highlights the volumes, a smooth background that does not distract and a skin in which emotion is distinguished.
This is one of those photographs that are not seen, but caressed. Congratulations Silvana!
Tomorrow new Fotoreto, we are going to put to work a part of your brain that is very necessary for a photographer. Are you going to miss it?
