    Shooting my own headshots

    As my profile pic on LinkedIn is a selfie from back in 2013, I decided it was time for new headshots and I challenged myself to make them on my own.

    In my photography course we learned how to take pictures of yourself on your own. It’s actually quite easy. First, put your camera on a tripod. Set it to AV mode and make sure the self timer is on continuous mode. Next, use a stand-in object (in my case, a mannequin) for yourself to focus on. Press the shutter button halfway to focus. Now switch over to the manual focus on your lens. Lastly, press down the shutter button and pose.

    Curious about my previous challenge of the month? In November I took on the task of redesigning my portfolio.

    Photography

    Every picture tells a story. And telling stories happens to be a passion of mine. So it was only a matter of time before I picked up a camera myself.

    I’ve been into photography since the launch of my blog MllsDeMode, back in 2011. But in 2015 I really stepped up my photography game when I bought my first DSLR. A year later I got the chance to photograph for my work at BBDO, specifically for P&G. And another 3 years later I decided to make things official by following a course in Allround Digital Photography.

    My main focus is food photography. I just love to get people to gush over a recipe I slayed hours over in my kitchen by capturing it in the right manner. But I also enjoy product, nature & portrait photography. Below you can find some of my favorite pics:

    My passion for photography got so big, I decided to start my own Instagram, Anneleen FotografEET.
