Self Portrait and Portraits Intro

-
1.) 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. 

  2.) Looking within the frame – alternatively you could have your subject looking at something (or someone) within the frame.

3.) Play With Backgrounds

The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – however sometimes when you place them into different contexts with different backgrounds you can dramatically alter the mood in a shot.


Environmental Portraits 
 I liked this photo because it reminded me of me when I was younger. I had the same bed and sheets as the girl in the picture. I chose this picture because it captures a little girl day dreaming really well. The picture has a happy tone that makes you like it more,

I like this picture because it captures the moment very well and brings you into the picture. I chose this picture because it shows the artist in his natural environment and really shows who he is.





Self Portraits
 I liked and chose this picture because the idea of bringing the light and white into the dark photo using flowers. I think it was smart to have everything she was wearing to be white and everything else dark. It balances the photo.


I really liked this photo because of how creative it was using the mirror to replace the woman eyes using eyes facing forward. It is very unusual but very artistic.


Casual Portrait
 I like this picture a lot because of the lighting. I chose it because the picture is so simple but looks really artistic and creative playing with the colors and lighting.
I like and chose this picture because the picture seems so bland and regular but the boys blue eyes bring in new elements making the picture more alive.

For our portrait shoot assignment I plan on shooting my mom. My mom is one of the most important parts of my life and I think shooting her will really show that. I plan on shooting all my photos in and around my house. For inside my house I want to use the natural light my house gets and the creative colors and elements my house also has. For pictures outside of my house I want to show the warm environment of my neighborhood. To make my shoot successful I want to get the most out of the lighting and framing. I want to be very creative and unusual with my photos without making the photo to loud or crowded.

Shutter speed, aperture, ISO

Aperture Aperture F2.8 Aperture F16 1. The part of the body we should closely relate to aperture is the pupil. 2. The smaller the aperture the higher amounts of background blur. The larger the aperture the less amounts of background blur. 3. Aperture can affect the Depths of Field very greatly. If you want a picture where the focus is mainly on the foreground and have a more blurry background you would use a lower aperture. And vise versa when you want to see the foreground and background clearly. Shutter Speed Higher shutter speed Slower shutter speed 1. The sun is out a) Quicker shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Quicker shutter speed e) Quicker shutter speed f) Quicker shutter speed 2. The sun is down a) Longer shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Longer shutter speed e) Longer shutter speed f) Longer shutter speed 2. Setting 1: auto is when the shutter speed is set by the camera Settin...

Point of view preview 1. Bird's eye, becoming the subject, eye level and worm's eye 2. Bird's eye view is when the photographer is taking the photo from above. Becoming the subject is when the photograph is taken from the point of view of the person interacting with the subject. Eye level is when the photograph is taken at the eye level of the animal or other subject. Worm's eye view is when the photograph is taken from below looking up. 3.
