Today we played a special game.
We wanted to see what's happenning when we gently touch the other's face.
Sounds simple, right?

The one who gave the touch, held the camera and took the photo, so we used the other's face as a mirror of the connection between us - that's why we count these photos as self portraits, too.

The result is beyond surprising for us.
We're so curious how do you feel about them!
These moments brought so many emotions up from our souls - Szaffi cuddled me so long after her photos taken. She was so calm and open after these minutes.
With Gabor we had a deep conversations and releasing tears before our photos taken - we had a short walk without Szaffi today, so it gave us the perfect opportunity to take self-portraits.

This is only the 4th week of the project but OMG, I can't  wait to see what's the next week brings to us!

We kindly suggest you to take these kind of photos with your beloved ones at home (never mind if you don't have a camera, you can do it with your phone).
Hopefully it brings you so much joy and intimacy - it's a much needed healing power in the middle of the January blues :)

Hugs,
Szandra and Gabor

We reeeeally would like to write all those honey-sweet words here - love, connection, harmonie, blablablaaa....

But the truth is a bit different :)

We're in CONSTANT USE as parents, grown-ups, business owners.
We hardly find any time for in the strict sence: ourselves.

Normally, Wednesdays are our yoga days.
We take Szaffi to the childminder and we practice bikram yoga for 90 minutes, then we try to change the world in 2,5 hour without Szaff.
But this week we're still feel poorly, so we didn't have the chance to do the yoga.

So... we took off our yoga pants (haha), and decided to take our self portrait instead of laying in the bed and continue to coughing and blowing our nose - this time: only of the 2 of us.
Guys, this project is HARD!

It was a lovely, sunny day - let's take a walk. But I have nothing to wear! Gaaaaab, what are you going to wear?! Red? Aaaaaawww... whyyy??? Yes my nose is awfully red - I hate it :D
And where to go? And what to show? And how to pose? Noooo, I'm not a drama queen today :D

On the way we decided to show something of our actual feelings - more confused than romantic, but next time we'll try to do it. 
So we arrived, tried to set up the tripod, then.... yep. We left home that little stuff what connects the camera to the tripod (quick release plate).

All in all, we had to leave all the expectations behind and improvise.
We quickly found a nice, white wall - as we couldn't use the tripod, we had to find a way to connect eachothers.... on the floor.
Guys, it was freeeeezing cold!

But there were something warm inside....
It was so lame situation sitting together on the dirty floor, and try to find ourselves in a motion, in a touch.
It took no more than 3 minutes (have we told that it was chill?!) but we found something.
A tiny little spark. 
We had a good lough together and we truly love how these photos turned out :)

Ok, enough of us for today - let's find a way to connect more often!
We know: all of us are in constant use.

Hugs,
Szandra & Gabor

Feel free to follow the Self-Love Project on Instagram:

To take these pictures, we used the followings:

• Sigma Art 35mm
• F4 - to make sure we're all in focus
• 1/160 - for tack sharp image
  
• ISO 800
  
• 2pm - The light was coming from behind the white wall
  
• We used a full frame camera (Canon 6D), and Gabor's smartphone as a remote
  

Hope it was useful for you all,
we can't wait to see your self portraits!

Feel free to ask any question, guys!

Hey guys,

how are you? How has the New Year started for you?
We're buzzing to dive into so many ideas, plans and projects, and it gives us enough power to survive the January blues :)

First of all, here is our weekly self-portrait project.
Our goal is simple: get in the frame, once a week in 2019.

Our team has 2 photographers, a man and a woman, a mother and a father - so we have sooo much to think about, to talk about, to create!
It seems a deeply self-healing way, not to mention all the practice of photography skills and developments as artists.
Being on the other side of the camera teaches us plenty of things and we' like to dig deeper into this viewpoint for being more emphatic and sensitive photographer for you and for your family.

Our first few portraits are just like saying hello, and hey, this is us :)
We took a nice walk in Bournemouth town center and when Szaffi fell asleep in the carrier, we pushed ourselves into the frame :)
We found a hidden place above the Triangle, and fell in love with the black wall, so we set up the tripod, then... nothing :)

Guys, it was just weird!
Aha... emphatic moment - that's how our clients feel when we start the shoot.
So we had so much fun, took a couple of terrible photos and finally chose our favorites to share.

Ok guys, enough of the words, let's do that :)

To take these pictures, we used the followings:

• Sigma Art 35mm
• F4 - to make sure we're all in focus
• 1/400 - for tack sharp image
• ISO 1600
• 4pm - soft, natural light, coming from behind the camera, it was a bit cloudy, close to sunset
• Tripod - we're both quite tall, so we needed a tripod with longer column, and the camera was a bit tilted to the subject (us) for better angle
  
  We used a full frame camera (6D), set to self timer (10sec).
  The only reason we didn't use the smartphone as a remote that is was freezing cold outside, and our fingertips were dead.
  So when Szandra pushed the button, she had to run next to me,
  we had to count to ten and don't blink.
  
  The tripod was standing on the road while we were posing in front of the black wall, so we had to make sure that we can pick it up when a car is coming.
  
  Hope it was useful for you all,
  we can't wait to see your self portraits!
  
  Feel free to ask any question, guys!
  Hugs,
