Self Portrait and Portraits Part II AND Rules of Photography Part II

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

Tips-

1. Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.
2. Use props such as if your a mom or dad and you are a painter, or play an instrument.
3. Use a mirror.

Environmental portraits

I choose both of this photos for my favorites as environmental portraits because for the first one of the pregnant women she is holding her belly showing emotion and her son is showing emotion towards her and both are smiling. For the second photo i liked it because it was outside and the contrast of the Photoshop is perfect and the baby is sitting on a blanket outside in the sun smiling and you can see the photo well and she stands out because she is showing rule of thirds

Photography self portrait

   These two photos i liked for photography self portrait because for the first photo the women has another photo of her to complete the photo and different emotions. I like the second photo because of the way the little girl is focusing in class and doesn't see the camera taking the photo of her and continues paying attention

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casual photos

I choose these two photos for my casual photo because im sure like its an everyday thing for this baby to have his pacifier in his mouth and just have that look on his face and hes not dressed up to go anywhere and is just dressed as if its a everyday thing. The second photo i choose is its a causal portrait because the guy is dressed as an everyday outfit and it doesn't look like he is going out or anything so they both are common in being casual and having the everyday outfit looks.
