Kicking off 2019 with a bang, the next subject I have photographed for the photography series, this photo-set being the first for 2019, is my close friend, Patrick Connolly.
As these photos were taken on New Year’s Eve given I was at a New Year’s Eve Party to ring in 2019, these photos were taken in low-light conditions, and with surprising results, these photos came out better than I expected.
A fraction of some of these photographs were normal headshots, while some of the photographs were off-guard facial expressions Patrick made that he probably wouldn’t necessarily make if this involved him looking directly at the camera. It’s often the off-guard photographs that are the best photos.
You’ve Got My Undivided Attention! 
Hey There! 
You’re Still Talking? 
What On Earth Was That? 
What Do You Want Me to Do About It? 
Don’t Mind Me! I’m Just Having My Drink. 
I’m a Little Bit Dazed from the Party But Hey, I’m Happy! 
Are They Actually Serious? 
I’m Lost for Words. I Don’t Know What to Say. 
Really? I Didn’t Know That! 
You’ve Caught Me in a Good Mood on a Good Day! 
That’s Interesting! 
I’m a Little Surprised! 
Now You’re Taking the Piss! 
Now That’s Funny!
I hand-picked three of the photos from this photo-set to upload to Instagram beforehand and they’ve gone down a storm after I changed them to black and white with surprising results!
What On Earth Was That?
Now That’s Funny!
Really? I Didn’t Know That!
I’m pleased with how these photos turned out and I’m quite amazed that the low-lighting with the flash on compensated the photos in such a way that they stand out really well.
If there’s any improvements I could make, please let me know as your feedback will really help me to improve on the photo-sets I produce in the future.
