Self Portrait And Portraits

Tip #1: Get Closer

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact

Tip #2: Try Standing By a Corner

As an alternative to standing in the middle of nowhere, you might want to actually use a building or wall in your shot. In this circumstance your first instinct is to focus on the wall, but that might not work too well depending on your depth-of-field.

Tip #3: Capture You

My last tip is to use the images below only loosely as inspiration. A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality

Environmental Portrait 

I like this photo because it shows a nice, very focused black and white picture of this old man here, i picked it because this photo is great quality and it says 1,000 words.

I like this picture because it shows this man in his big cranberry field and its not only focused on him but the field and the sunrise. I Picked it because its my favorite one, very detailed. 

Casual Portrait

I chose this picture because it shows this pretty woman smiling, you can see all her features, very detailed and good quality picture, reason i chose it.

I Chose this picture because i think its funny and who knows what this kid is doing. I like it because of the facial expression he is making, i can only imagine what he's up to and who he's throwing that rock at.

Formal Portrait

I Chose this picture because i like babies and this a good picture of one, he seems to be laughing or starting to laugh. I like it because he just looks happy and its very detailed.

This picture made me laugh haha its some goofy guy with his cat that looks like he hates his life. I like it because no one knows the story behind this pic, he's just some happy creepy guy with a cat.

Photography Self Portrait

I chose this pic because i personally like superman and he's one of my favorite super heros. I like how the rest of the photo is black and white except his suit.

I like this picture because i can tell this man loves photograph and does it professionally. His eye is like the lens of a camera, he sees it all.

For my portrait assignment I'm thinking of shooting a picture of myself. I want to take it in the gymnasium because its has the most space and colors.To make this successful ill make sure i have it set to the rights setting and i apply the rules & elements properly.
