Portraits and Self Portraits
Some really good tips for taking good portraits are like holding your camera on a angle, framing your subject and using a wide angle.
This Would be an example of playing with the background, the reason that the environment is a key element in this photo is because the girl is on the subway and everything thing else that is going on behind her is irrelevant because she is the main focus or subject.
This would be an example of a casual portrait, because the man is in his natural state almost like he doesn't know that his picture is being taken, he's swiftly walking through the streets.
This photo would be used as a self portrait, because there is no background to look at it's the man and the camera, i actually really like this picture because it's taken really well and it's in focus and it's just a really good photo all in general.
I also thought this picture really suits environmental portrait theme because you have the skater and the bowl and a couple of people in the background other than that who ever took this picture really knows what their doing.
I guess when taking a self portrait black and white film or filters are a very popular or a must, but i really like this one because its very simple but taken really well.
I decided to use this kids senior picture for casual portrait because its very simple he's not to dresses up and it looks like its taken in his backyard so not a whole lot of thought went into this picture and thats what i think makes it really good.
If you notice something about all of these casual portraits is that they are very simple but taken very well and whoever took these two casual portraits are both photographers that are very skilled and know what their doing.
For my portrait shoot ill try to shoot a little bit of inside the building and outside, ill shoot pictures of whoever wants their picture taken the only time i might take on without them knowing is when i take casual photo, thats really all i can think of for what ill do with my shoot.
