Eli birthday photography _ monomad daily chalenge

Hello everyone in the black and white community,

I hope everything is fine there. I'm Menti, and I'm back with another photography session and another blog post. This time, I have a studio photoshoot of my model, Ellie, a 20-year-old girl whose 20th birthday I photographed.

Fortunately, the timing of the photoshoot was such that I also had natural light, and I could use the large windows in my studio to direct a large amount of sunlight inside and use it. The frosted glass I used in front of the windows acted like a large softbox, giving my model a soft light that you can see more of in the photos below.

Elnaz was a beautiful and modest girl, and I took some portrait shots of her innocent face next to her cake. Her birthday cake was also custom-made, and the sparklers on it, which you can see in the photo by the window, were placed there specifically for that purpose. Her beautiful cake had a crown on top, which made her look special.

I used natural light for this photoshoot because it really made the environment dreamy. The best option for my photos was the black and white theme, which gave the photos a much better feel after I applied it, as if it breathed life into them.

In her portrait, she was leaning slightly towards the cake, and by changing the direction of Ellie's gaze, we got a few beautiful shots of her face, two of which I chose and shared with you.

Next, she took some interesting and creative poses while sitting on the floor with the help of two number balloons, one showing the number zero and the other showing the number twenty. Her mom jeans really made the photos pop, and I loved the style she was wearing.

I also took an attractive photo with a high shutter speed when they were hanging in the air. He quickly moved his head from the bottom to the top and I fired a few shots. Facial expression is very important in these photos.
Overall, I think we created a wonderful day for her and she was completely happy with the photos, which made me extremely happy.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and the photos. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below.
