Hola! I’m Lucille, an avid hobbyist photography, currently in Madrid.
This is the first mentorship I’ve been selected for and I must admit, it’s quite daunting.
I love shooting flowers and landscapes. I also love using Lr and Ps to convey my version of a moment as it happened. And yeah, if you think I take too many self-portraits, please know it’s only cause of lack of models around me. (If you are in or around Madrid, raise your hand… I’m always looking for partners in crime).
I’ve never intentionally tried to blur or unsharp a photo. I have tried my hand at capturing motion and at long exposure, but I’m coming to this course with my glass completely empty.
Looking forward to learning, to evolving as a photographer and forging new bonds with the fantastic people who will be mentoring, participating and aiding this adventure.
This is not what I’d call my best or favourite photo, but it’s my most recently edited image. The son of my best friend on a lovely Spanish evening.

Great to have you with us! It’ll be nice to get to know you beyond “Y is for Yellow” 🙂
Wow … that one lost steam ages ago. I’ve been off G+ for way too long. Hopefully, I’ll breathe some life into the theme as well, since I have a new hangout 🙂
Thanks for the course Alex Lapidus… so glad to be here.
Welcome Lucille Galleli ! I love your vision and can’t wait to see what you will be creating once your blur becomes intentional! Have fun -:)

Lucille Galleli – welcome! I look forward to diving into your portraiture and self-portraiture! I heard a speaker at a conference talk about self-portraiture a little over a year ago, and it was a wonderful discussion! I’d love to get your own feedback on some of the ideas discussed sometime!

I’d take self portraits too, Lucille Galleli if I had a less self-conscious subject. I’ve seen some pretty cool results in the past with unsharp portraits, and am looking forward to more! Love your shot of your son’s friend. 😎
Thanks Robin Cohen 😀
Thanks much Ken Fowkes… look forward to applying blur to portraiture. Self-portraiture is a different beast altogether. I look forward to learning and evolving along with you.
