Lifestyle Photography – Photoshop Actions – This Is Our Life Project – Week 8 Wrap Up
Posted on February 26, 2013

Below you will find our beautiful group of featured images from the This Is Our Life photo project for Week Eight. The theme was Wild Card … the theme was up to the individual member. :)
For those wanting to find out more details (join anytime!) or if you are just interested in lifestyle photography in general and want some helpful tips and examples, please check out the very informative post on lifestyle photography and This Is Our Life.
For my eighth week in the This Is Our Life project I took a photo of me and my husband … and our third baby to be arriving in just a few weeks!
Edited with Luminosity actions and taken using a tripod (with a Nikon 85mm 1.4G lens).

Before we get to the featured images of the week, the prompt for week nine of the This Is Our Life project is Out of The Shadows. Think beyond taking a photo of an actual shadow, and focus more on how the contrast between light and shadow can create drama and emotion in a photo. See the example below …

For my seventh week in the This Is Our Life project I captured a “not loving the camera” moment with my littlest.
Edited with Luminosity actions … Luminous (80%) and Film Haze (25%). Shot with a Nikon 35mm 1.4G lens at ISO 400, f1.4, 1/200 second.

Before we get to the featured images of the week, here is the prompt for week eight of the This Is Our Life project (Wild Card!). This week is up to you … capture a moment that is special to you, work on a skill or technique you’ve been struggling with … have fun and shoot for you!
