how I took *somewhat* professional photos for my portfolio & profiles (freelancing footnotes ep. 2)
not photogenic? I'm not either. I don't have any photos that are good for headshots, my portfolio/website, or just general profile pictures. As a freelancer, I need to change this. It's not the most important thing, but having clients look at my 6 year old vsco profile photo isn't it.
In this video, I:
🖥️show you some alternatives to the standard "sitting on stool with plain background" headshots
📷how I took the photos
⭐️some tips and tricks and lessons I learned
If you're going to skip around, shame on you! But at least use the timestamps I made:
0:00 the Pinterest board
0:46 taking the photos
3:07 what went wrong (& what worked)
3:32 photos aren't the most important, but it's worth taking a day to get a few you like
4:27 the final photos

      @alivialee My personal favourites: French onion soup with generous butter and a pinch of chilli powder (the goal is not to taste the chilli, just add a warming sensation). Roasted cauliflower and smoked paprika. Miso roasted pumpkin with coconut cream. A gelatinous chicken bone broth with corn Cob, and generous garlic and herbs, I use the bag of vegetables scrap in my freezer for this one. Add noodles or egg as tasty toppings. I also love Pho and ramen but have not reached the skill level to even compete with professionally made.

    • @alivialee
      @alivialee Місяць тому

      that's so sweet, thank you!! 18-19 were some of my most stressful years. I remember not being able to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about my purpose and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Right around my 20th birthday, something clicked. I realized that I had to tell my perfectionistic tendencies to shut up and just take action. I enrolled in college, changed degrees three times, switched colleges, and dropped out. But, it was the best decision I made because (somehow) it led me to what I’m doing now. And I absolutely love it. I don’t know you, but if you’re anything like me and tend to get stuck in the loop of “I can’t make a decision until I’m sure it’s the best decision”, you might want to consider just picking a path and pursuing it. But make sure you’re open to changing paths. The more you do, the more experience you’ll have. The more experience you have, the more data you’ll have to make better choices. Also, my late teenage years (while stressful) were some of my most fun years. So live it up, have fun. You’ll figure it out💜
