I also had a photoshoot recently with a guy that turned up to a hafla and i was impressed with his pictures her took.
He prefers to shoot performance rather than poses, which attracted me as i hate posing and feel some posed shots look a little like glamour photography - we are dancers not models after all. Anyway, I feel i didn't get any business card/front page of website worthy ones in Bedleh, I like a lot of the ones in a baladi dress. It's my own fault for not focussing on the task at hand due to life stress (I forgot to put on my gauntlets for the bedleh!!) and being more clear in my own head what shots I was looking for. I'm really grateful for the work he has put in, just angry with myself!!
Baladi - I really like this one it sums up how baladi makes me feel
Possibly usable bedleh shoot
The least silly looking saiidi shot
Something about the light quality makes me think this looks a bit tacky
Another nice one (I prefer my face when its looking down and you can't see it!!)
Bad face, but you can see what I was aiming for:
Again, better when you can't see my face. And my left hand has a droopy problem
Shame about the face
Cliché
I think this one looks like 'me'
Again, better wiithout my face!
