Self Portrait and Portraits I

1. Get a different angle - Get up high and shoot down on your subject or get as close to the ground as you can and shoot up. Either way you’ll be seeing your subject from an angle that is bound to create interest.

2. Play With Backgrounds The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – however sometimes when you place them into different contexts with different backgrounds you can dramatically alter the mood in a shot. Sometimes you want your background to be as minimalistic as possible.

3. Experiment with Subject Expressions In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image. Get your subject to experiment with different moods and emotions in your image. Play with extreme emotions
I like the sunset and the mans expression in this environmental portrait.
The lady looks so authentic, the photographer just caught her in the moment thats why I liked his environmental portrait.


I like this photo. She isnt smiling, just being relaxed. Like a sleeping baby. haha
This photo takes advantage of the background and the mirror. There is some good framing here.

I like this portrait because this mans smile makes me think he was laughing during this picture. I think the man was say. "Har Har Har!"

I enjoy these casual portraits because they show how people normally look.

For the portrait assignment, I will take pictures of my friends aswell as my family members. For family members and friends I will go outside of my house and use my rustic fence as a background. To make my shots successful I will take many pictures and get lots of different angles. I take pictures in different locations and I will use different subject. I can control these variable to get the perfect shot. I will also follow the rules of photography.
