Here's my Amateur entry. I was strolling the street of Istanbul and witnessed this Syrian refugee girl feeding a cat with the food she just begged. This touching scene remains one of my favorite street captures in my extensive travels. :) Hope you enjoy it too!

So adorable @itchyfeetdonica

Hi @derangedvisions, this is my entry for The Perfect Portrait.

This photo was taken during one of my outings to take a street photo in the Barranquilla Downtown in Colombia.
I made this photo specifically in a small place where they sell empanadas, a typical food in Latin America.
Tier: Professional.

Great shot as always! Oh how I miss empanadas, haha...

Thank you so much. You have to return to Colombia for a couple of empanadas. Greetings my friend.

Happy me on Caribbean beach in Mexico! :) Have a great weekend, Wes;)

Look at the intensity on this mans face. This is the Man, the myth, the legend. His name is Mike and he is the reason my self and my good friend Scott Kelly got into fighting fire together. And this photo was taken on the day off Scott’s Funeral. The look on his face says it all.

Bro, one thing I didn't realize when I had you come to Steemit was that I was going to be constantly reminded of Scott through your posts as well. It is going to be so cool to be reminded of all the stories from the both of you.

That day this photo was taken was a very hard day for all of us here that knew him. Scott had a huge impact on so many people. This was a picture I took of him on his wedding day when he was married in my living room. lol

I took this photo of my niece on the beach! She has that natural beauty. I enter this into the Amateur level contest. Photo taken with a Motorola phone standard settings.

This is my nephew, he is sitting resting on the edge of the rice fields. When he was called by his friend and looked back, that's when I took this picture.

Hi I would like to enter amateur tier.

This is the photo I took for my younger son when he was 8 months old. We took him to the park around our home in the late afternoon and while he was playing around with his big brother. I captured this moment.

Meet Cyrus Yash, he's going to have his 2nd birthday soon so we're shooting in a public park to have his photos be printed in a tarpaulin. Of all the shots I've taken, I considered this the Perfect Portrait for I have captured his personality: being joyful and energetic. Because this time, I just let him do what he wanted to do while I'm just trying to capture the perfect moment.

Hah, as you said that the pic should characterize that person I immediately had to think about my grannie. I'm not badmouthing her or anything, I looove her and she's the best grannie ever. But she used to do this funny thing during summer holidays. Always when she saw something expensive looking or luxurious, she just wanted a picture with it. I guess it comes from her childhood when there wasn't much money in general in my country. But every damn year, as a polite grandson of her, I was taking pics of her with everything - doubledecker buses, nice cars, jacuzzis, fountains, restaurants....I mean everything. And she doesn't even want to see the pics afterwards...It was always weird for me. Sadly I somehow can't find more of those pics except for this one.

Tier:Beginner

Your grannie sounds awesome! I love the story behind this image. I hope that you are able to find those other pictures you took with her. That way your memories with her will always be there.

The joy of the Children of Fishermen, living away from the hustle and bustle of the city, their sand, water and coral. that is their strength. coming home from school playing together in the sea while waiting for their father's return from the ocean looking for sustenance for them

I haven’t done many portrait photo shootings but there is one I will never forget.

At the time I had a studio, doing mainly advertising photography but in a small market like the Greek, specialization was a luxury I didn’t had so I was practising almost every kind of photography. Actually I liked it, since I had some interesting variety in my job. Nikos is a well-known Greek violinist working on traditional music. The day he come in, for his portrait, I was assigned by a magazine to illustrate the interview that he gave to them. The magazine was a new customer so I wanted to give the best possible result.

I had my lights all set up so after the introductions Nikos stepped in front of the background and looked at me. I cannot describe how awkward the following minutes were. He couldn’t pose not even remotely natural and I was feeling so bad for not been able to guide him properly. The shooting was evolving into a disaster.

After dozens of useless shots I asked him to play something with his violin. I attached a telephoto lens to my camera and I stepped away, into the shadow. And boom! All the tension and the awkwardness burst out leading to this picture!

I don’t know what you think of it but for me it was a great success. It turned out to be the magazine's cover and Nikos come back for more shootings :)

There is also a bw version in my post.

Love the story behind this, it has happened to me more than once. By the way, was the second shooting less awkward?

Thank you @gabyoraa!
It is true, the connection between the model and the photographer can be a tricky thing. The second shooting was much easier although this shot is by far the best I got with him.

I come from a family of dorks and I'm damn proud! Here's my dad and my older brother being themselves...to which I finally just discovered a similarity between my brother and I!!!! It appears that we both have the same nose wrinkle smile. Haha.

I really am a fan of your family!!!!

Stunningly good portraits. I love the two boys in two entirely different situations, but that little girl is exquisite. Stunning.

Thank you. The boy at the end of the post is my son. That little girl is such a fun one to take pictures of. She is a little ball of energy.

The older boy? When I look at that photo, goodness seems to shine from his eyes.

I know I've used this photo before, but it's really one of my favorite portraits ever. Specially because it wasn't posed, staged or planned. Every time I see it, it takes me back to those days where we almost made it.

Very powerful image indeed and the phrase “those days where we almost made it” is something I have said too many times.

I believe it is a perfect portrait of my daughter.

When I was travelling in Paraguay, I was invited to a remote indigenous community near Puerto Pollo in Northern Paraguay. This is how I got to witness a fascinating traditional ceremony.

The story of these ladies is quite interesting, I wrote it down a while ago in my blog along with some more portraits: https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@jpphotography/the-story-of-the-indigenous-ishir-people-of-paraguay-steemitphotochallenge-entry

Warning deleted

Lol I think something is wrong with your bot @arcange :D

ya, I thought it was weird that you would get this warning. I checked out your post and I think that it was because of the link at the end that takes you off site to you personal photography site since it is a .de and not a .com. But your site is a legit site and not a scam, so people shouldn't be worried about it. This is an awesome image. I could make a sweet water color out of it, the colors are perfect for it.

Thanks! Apparrently there is a phishing site that has "steemitphoto" in the url and since I used the tag "steemitphotochallenge" as first tag and it is a part of the steemit URL, the bot detects it as a phishing link. It should be easily possible for @arcange to exclude all links that start with a legit Steemit URI (like https://steemit.com/) from the phishing detection..

Yes, it was because of the domain name of your site.
I update my warning bot to avoid such false positive. Please apologize for inconvenience.

No worries at all! Your phishing warnings are great service and it is better to warn one time too often than one time too little!

ya, you just got dinged again. lol

The rule is: "don't say it twice" 😜

LOL. I tried to warn him about trying to steal all of my SBDs. You are doing awesome things for the platform.
