Tips
- Play with Eye Contact
- Take Unfocused Shots
- The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject.
Environmental Portraits
I chose both of these environmental portraits because they both show a lot of emotion and their environment really gives the setting. The man sitting on the couch alone in front of a painting of who you would assume to be him and his wife, who probably passed away. The man in the other picture is in his place of living and it looks very dirty and he looks very unhappy.
Self Portrait
I think both of these self portraits are very cool. Portraits are actually my favorite kind of photo to take, so usually when I see others that are cool I just automatically like something about them. Maybe because they're black and white or the fact that neither of them are dolled up or anything, it's like a very raw state.
Casual Portrait
I chose these photos because they weren't as weird as all of the other ones on the google search. There weren't any interesting casual portraits. Also, both of these people are famous from acting.
Portrait Assignment Plan
For my assignment I plan on using my girlfriend as my subject because she who I shoot mostly, and I plan on shooting her in a setting with a lot of feeling/expression of who she is. So maybe like her in her room with all her posters around her, or a bunch of clothes on the ground because she is messy and she loves different kinds of fashion. To make sure I get a quality photo I will adjust the ISO according to how much light there is in the room and I will make sure every photo is properly focused. Since she won't be moving at all, I think those settings are more important than shutter speed.
