Portraits and Self Portraits Intro

Tips

  • create a candid looking photo
  • play with angles
  • always have your camera ready
  • be creative

Environmental Portrait

 I chose these two images because I like the simplicity of them. The subject is very clear and the photos aren't really posed. It is the subject in their environment doing their thing. 


Photography Self Portrait

I chose these two photos because the first she had portrayed herself in a certain way and the man is expressing how he feels as a photographer and that is the beauty is within the eye of  the beholder.

Casual Portrait



I chose these two pictures because although they are kind of posed, it doesn't look like the subject is trying to hard. Its casual.

Planning

For my shoot, my subject will be two of my close friends. One of them plays basketball so I was thinking I could do something with that. I was also planning to go hiking soon. So, I thought it would be creative to take pictures on the hike. For my self portrait, I'm not sure about what I'm doing yet. I thought I could do something about me and cheer because that makes a huge impact on my life. But, I want to go deeper than that. I'll have to do some thinking.
