Portraits and Self Portraits

Two tips I think are important are to 1) Play with lighting and 2) Shoot candidly

I liked this environmental portrait a lot because you can tell what he likes to do and that he loves it.

I chose this self portrait because I thought the photographer played with the lighting very well and he also incorporated polaroid pictures into the photo.

I chose this Self portrait because I thought it was cool that he used a mirror to show his face .

I chose this casual portrait because I liked how they had a unique, pretty, and over all eye appealing background and I thought it really enhanced the picture.

I chose this casual portrait because I liked how blurred the background was and how that affected the lighting of the photo. I also liked how it was candid of this woman laughing. I felt like that really made the photo stand out.

If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I think I would try to incorporate more of the aspects of photography into my photos and see if I liked the outcome better. 4. What things would you do the same? I think I had pre

1) I didn't really have that much of a reaction to what I read and saw. I did notice though that the photographer was really passionate about what he was photographing.

This one is my favorite because I thought it was cute, and I think it rally makes the person looking at the photo feel something and I just thought that was cool. 4) This photo shows rule of third's. It shows this by having the subject in the left of the photo. 5) He does not use a telephoto lens because he thinks that you can't show much feeling through being far away. He wants to capture the soul and by being up close he can achieve that. 6) He took these photo's because he feels moved and inspired when he visits these sort of places. 7) He hopes to show the animals in their state o
