Tuesday Photo Challenge – Slippery

Welcome to Week 132 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  As a heads up, I will publish last week’s round up tomorrow, as a surprise announcement wreaked havoc with my schedule.

This week, I’m going with a theme that was suggested by one of our regular contributors to the challenge, Na’ama Yehuda!  Thank you for the theme of Slippery!  Of course, this caused me to reverse my normal process, which is to be inspired by an image to pick a theme.  This week, I had to find something that might represent Slippery…

Of course, you can take the Slippery slope and unleash your creative minds and lenses to capture something to fir this week’s theme…I’m very much looking forward to seeing what you might come up with!!

Here’s a rather slippery customer…

Morgan-MSP_MG_5758
The Lady Charmeth…

Morgan is among my favorite models, as she always knows how to put together the facial expressions that I’m looking for in a shoot.  A little bit of mystery hides behind her eyes, aided by the mystery of the wonderful snake that has wrapped its way around her…

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Can’t wait to see what comes slip-sliding into this challenge!!

    Wow, this is a wonderful photo… and the model as well, of course! 🙂 Are you a pro? I tried to find more of your work but couldn’t… where is it?

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Thank you, Tatiana! Only semi-pro, as I do have a full-time job in high-tech. You can see some of my work on my website: http://frankjansenphotography.com

      It needs updating, but time has been in short supply.

      Great catch both by angler and photographer!

        ThankU! That’s very kind of u… nothing special in the picture though- was just a fun click by the boys. Just posted it as it fit well for the topic – slippery as I know it’s difficult to hold a wriggly 🐟

    This is an amazing portrait. She is a gorgeous (brave) model! 💕 The eyes are beautiful, even without the effect (and I love the effect) Thanks for leading the way!😁 (and setting the bar 😳)

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Using a ring light can produce some interesting catch lights in the eyes. Hope you enjoy the challenge!

      1. ArtisanX Avatar

        Do you prefer one over another?

      2. jansenphoto Avatar

        Not really; it all depends on what effect I want. For a more traditional portrait I’m likely to use Rembrandt lighting, as it allows for a very pleasing look that people tend to be happy with. I’ve also done more edgy portraits, for which I look to create a bit of a harsher, silvery light feeling.

        There are many choices, which makes photography fun!

    That’s an incredible photo! Love the focus for this week’s challenge, Frank.

    Is the news about IBM good for you?

    Blessings either way. 🙂

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Thank you, Debbie! IBM will be a bit of a challenge; I think there are a large number of positive attributes, which thoughts I have shared with a large part of our organization. As with many things, the proof will be in the pudding!

      Much love!

      Frank
