Self Portraits and Portraits


1) completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a unique wow factor.

 2) Framing your subject gives the image depth and draws the main focus to the subject.

 3) You sometimes want to shoot people doing daily activities, where the subjects are not aware of the camera.
CASUAL PORTRAIT
I like this photo because the subject is only one person, and it is very clear that the man is the subject. I chose this photo because it is very content and peaceful because of the persons facial expression.


I like this photo because the subject is not stand or sitting, but  he is laying down . Also, it is in black in white which is something that draws attention to audience. I chose this photo because the black and white create emotion for the image, and the subject is not looking at the camera, or posing for the camera. 

SELF PORTRAIT
I like this photo because the subject is very serious, and adds colorful elements to the image which I think is really cool. Also, the subject is looking at the photo, which connects the viewer to the subject in a way. I chose this photo because it is simple, yet deep which is very appealing.

I think this photo is very interesting because the filter creates a dark mood and theme, and the expression on the persons face is very serious. I chose this photo because the subject is taking a picture of himself in a mirror or a window of some sort which is creative.
ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAIT
I like this photo because the photo tells a story of someone whose daily job is one that is definitely abnormal, and it is awesome how someone was able to capture it. I chose this photo because the setting is not your everyday work conditions, and not your average citizen. It shows the woman in her working environment, doing what she does everyday, and it provides a little bit of depth.

I like this photo because this captures someone following their passion and doing what they love, which is sculpting.  The woman also seems unaware of the camera, and I really like that. I chose this because it represents an environmental portrait, with very nice elements that give emotion and mood to the audience.

MY PLAN

I plan to take one portrait of myself, and one environmental portrait of someone else. For myself, I am planning on taking a picture of me dancing outside. I will set up a camera somewhere, set a timer, and get a photo of me in some dance pose. This will represent me because dance is something very important in my life. To make it successful, I will have to make sure the lighting is very even, and the angle is appealing. For the environmental portrait, I plan to take a photo of my dad working in his office, not aware of the camera. This will show my dad doing his everyday tasks as a lawyer. Because offices tend to not have that much light, I will have to adjust to that to make the photo good.

Sports Portfolio Notes

Runner Up Videos Travis Haughton Photos of stories Hidden faces, bad quality, too staged or planned They liked full body images, action shots, interesting background/levels I think the photography of this photographer because the images have very unique angles, but some of the images were not pleasing to the eye and some photos were not interesting enough. Jordan Murph Sports They do not like it when colors merge, there is no subject, very staged images, and silhouettes They like unique captured moments, angles, and good graphic composition This photographer is very repetitive, so I do not love this photographer’s portfolio. There was also many photos with bad lighting and composition, but some of the photos were very good action shots and seemed like good quality. Josh Birnbaum Stories They don’t like boring and simple photos, weird angles, half faces, and blurry photos.   They like when people get in the middle of the action, humor, ca

HDR Preview

Image
1. To create an HDR image, you will need to adjust the exposure of the photo the make lighting either over exposed or under exposed. 2. You will need to use a tripod to create an HDR image because you all need multiple pictures from the same angle and position. 3. Someone might take an HDR image because it makes an image or setting look more dramatic, and create an appealing look. Also, they can enhance images to make them seem a lot better than they actually are.  4. Whenever we see the pictures merge together, the dark and light exposures will even out to create the perfect HDR image.

Landscape Photography

1. One website that you can use to learn about the location you are going to shoot is Google Maps. 2. One app that I might download to check for angles of my photographs would be an app that tells me what the weather is going to be like whenever I go shoot. I also would like to know when the sun rises and sets. 3. The biggest problem when shooting with a zoom lens is that the foreground and the background tend to merge together in the images. 4. Instead of using HDR method, you can use ND grad method to capture the most detail. 5.  In case of bad weather, you should bring a waterproof plastic bag for your camera, appropriate clothing, and many cloths to clean the camera lens. 6.  Pre-scouting could help you when shooting because you can shoot that location from a different viewpoint than all of the other photographers have shot it from before. 7. The subject is more important than the composition, because the subject should influence the composition to create the perfect ph
