Self Portrait and Portraits part 1

1. Play with Backgrounds

2. Frame your Subject

3. Experiment with Lighting

Environmental Portrait

I really like this photo because I think the mood that it has is very interesting, and also, I like how the viewer sees just the inside of the piano, and not the standard view of the piano. I also this it was a good choice to make this picture in black and white, because it intensifies the picture so much more

I like this photo because of how, first of all, the lighting is. I like how its really light in the middle of the photo, and it fades into darkness. I also like the story that this picture tells, and how much you can tell what this old man's story is without having the photo be too busy.

Photography Self Portrait

I like this photo because I think the side profile is a fun thing to experiment with, and in this case, it came out looking really cool

I like the how in this photo, the subject is holding a camera, but not necessarily using the camera. I also like how the subjects eyes are averted somewheres else.

Casual Photography

I like how in this photo, the subject is looking off at something else that isn't shown in the picture. It leaves kind of a mysterious mark on this photo. I also, again, like how this photo is in black and white, I think it adds a cool effect to it.

I like this photo because, as I said before, I like the idea of the side profile view. In this picture especially, I like how the background is all blurred out, which helps the subject stand out more to the viewer.

Planning paragraph:

For my shoot, I would probably like to shoot some pictures of my friends. I think with pictures with my friends, there would certainly be a lot of laughing involved, so I could get some real emotion out of them. I think it would be cool to do the typical shoot in a grassy area, or against a really colorful building. I also think shooting in front of just a solid colored wall or backdrop would be cool too. To make this project successful, I would need to find a nice location, and also make sure that all my settings are correct at all times.
