Self Portrait and Portraits pt 1
Tips that I liked:
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.
A. Looking off camera – have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera. This can create a feeling of candidness and also create a little intrigue and interest as the viewer of the shot wonders what they are looking at. This intrigue is particularly drawn about when the subject is showing some kind of emotion (ie ‘what’s making them laugh?’ or ‘what is making them look surprised?’). Just be aware that when you have a subject looking out of frame that you can also draw the eye of the viewer of the shot to the edge of the image also – taking them away from the point of interest in your shot – the subject.
1. Focus upon one element of the image and leave your main subject blurred. To do this use a large aperture which will create a narrow depth of field and focus upon something in front of or behind your subject.
Environmental Portraits
What I really like about this photo is that the background behind the man is so vibrant and it immediately draw my attention to it. I picked this photo because the way the landscape stands out in the back really moves me.
I really like this photo because the person sitting on the rock is looking far off into the distance and it sends a really calm feeling. I picked this photo because the mountains in the back are so pretty and look very calm.
Photographer Self Portrait
I really like this picture because its the generic photographer photo and it being in black and white made it stand out really well. I chose it because it's a simple yet really complex photograph.
I like this picture because it makes me really confused as to what I'm looking at, and I chose it because all the effects it has makes it seem really complex.
Casual Portrait
This picture really stood out to me because he is looking off into the distance and probably thinking about something really sad because of the face he is making. I chose it because it is focused on him and there is no chaos in the background.
I really like this picture because she seemed to turn around at the right moment at the photographer caught it at a perfect moment. I chose it because it looks like she wasn't ready to take the picture, and it turned out really good.
For my portrait shoot, I will photograph my cousin Jessica. I would like to photograph her in the Downtown Austin area just because the scenery there is really nice and pretty. Some things I will do to make the shot successful, is make sure to have everything I want in focus, and try to eliminate all the background chaos as possible. I really want the photo to be a really high quality photo. The rule of photography that I really like is the rule of thirds. I think my photos are going to fall into the rule of thirds category. I would also want to really try to get the best angles I can just to make the photo more interesting to look at.
