Bored Blog 5: Practice What You Learn

7/14/2021

I changed the website a bit! I hope this looks better. Things may or may not change later on. We'll see.

This is a photo I took after watching one of Sorelle Amore's videos. She was talking about using the space around you and to play around with different poses.

Last night I got more into how to take better self portraits with an iphone. I first watched this video.

I later made a few changes on my phone and then tested it out.

I wasn't really satisfied so I watched this video.

The guy is a little annoying but he had a good point on how to use the lighting with your phone. After some adjustments I took these photos.

I took out my contact lenses so my left eye turned red.

To me, these photos looked kind of moody and looked a little more professional. In a way I was trying out Sorelle's style of dark-ish photos. Such as this.

Her photos are usually with natural light. And I noticed she takes photos during the day, so maybe that's what I need to try to do lol. I shared my photos on my instagram story only to my friends. I wanted to take some small steps first before letting my other followers see them. It was already kind of embarrassing to show my close friends.

I checked my phone this morning and none of them said anything...well one friend liked the photo of me sitting in front of the desk. But yeah. There wasn't much feedback. Maybe my face was too close to the camera? Or the photos themselves aren't that interesting.

Whatever it is I will keep trying.

From doing all this I hope I learn more about marketing. One big thing about marketing are the visuals. If it doesn't look good then people won't be interested. It's also, very hard to get anyone's attention when everyone is advertising their product or services.

I wish I majored in marketing in college. It would have helped me so much.

Oh, I gave it one more go since it's the afternoon right now. Plus mah sis is out (°∀°)b

A little update on the things I decided to change in my life. I have been watching less Netflix now. I'm trying to edit some more footage so I don't watch as many Youtube videos as before. Maybe the videos I look up for help or info are okay, but I should spend less time watching videos to kill time.

I can either keep this blog somewhat short or keep talking.

....

It's probably best I get more editing done.

Thanks for reading!

Best,

Emel
