Self Portrait and Portraits Part 2

Tips:
1 - If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!
2 - You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in.
3 - - Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Environmental Portrait 

I liked how in the background there are pumpkins and grass but its blurred out so that the focus is on the little boy.

I liked that the background on this picture is also blurred out and focusing on the little girl.

Photography Self Portrait

i liked this picture because he used a mirror and I really like how mirror pictures look, the black and white color I liked as well.

 

 

I really liked this Self Portrait because of the way her hair covers one of her eyes and focuses on the other eye, I also liked how the black and white looked on this picture.

 Casual Portrait

I liked this picture because her face is the focus and her expression looks very casual.

I picked this picture because it is very casual in my opinion, both background and the subject which is the couple.

For my Portrait assignment i would probably take a mirror picture of myself or a black and white, face close up picture. Those are my favorite ways of a Self portrait being taken. I would take the mirror one in my room where I would have a great background because of my decorated walls in my opinion it would make a good picture. I would blur the background a little so the focus would be on me though. If not then I would try to take a self portrait something like the black and white one of the girl that I chose in my pictures above.
