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.
Each time you will have 7 days to participate in the Photo Challenge of the week in question, until the following Thursday. turn it up to your favorite social network (Instagram either Facebook) without forgetting the hashtag or the label corresponding to the Photoreto in question along with the mention of @blogfotografo. this week will be #fotoreto36
Each week we will select a winning photograph. The author of the photo will take the book that he likes the most from our BdF digital book library.
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 photograph and who maintains the exclusivity of copyright remains you.
Theme of the week: Looks (01/31/20 – 02/06/20)
There are looks that kill, others that make you fall in love or that catch you without knowing why. They are this week’s theme for #fotoreto36.
And it is not about photographing only beautiful eyes, which are also worth it, why not? It is about capturing expressive looks, that tell stories, that move, that catch. In short, communicate.
With this exercise we want to awaken your ability to observe, to capture moments, to see beyond what is seen with the naked eye. A trick is to connect with the person portrayed, here are some clues.
Send your best photo and don’t forget to add the hashtag #fotoreto36 and the mention @blogfotografo. One of our ebooks can be yours, what are you waiting for?!
Update
What a wonderful Photoreto! You have sent us so many and so different looks that it has been a real joy. Like every week, you can see the participating images on Facebook and Instagram.
This week’s winning image is by Agustin Gomez.
We have loved this photograph that, beyond being a technically correct photo in terms of focus and exposure, stands out for its composition.
It is an excellent portrait in which the gaze is the absolute protagonist, because of the gaze itself, which we will now talk about, and because of how it has been captured. On the one hand, the absence of color and its consequent distractions, the image speaks in a language of emotion. On the other hand, the blur, with which its author has played really well. And last but not least, the natural setting. We really liked the idea of using a mirror to isolate the gaze and it has become a really attractive effect. In addition, it allows the protagonist to look at herself, far from being posed for the camera, this gaze dialogues with herself, searches her own interior and makes us spectators of an intimate moment, of self-recognition or even self-affirmation. Well, to me, at least, in addition to the sweetness that what we can see in the face transmits, determination comes to me. And I like that very much. Congratulations, Augustine!
Tomorrow new Fotoreto, an attractive theme that gives a lot of itself in photography, don’t miss it or you’ll regret it 😉 .
