Self Portraits and Portraits part II

Tips
2 - 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.

A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face—the image of two hands holding a camera says a lot about the photographer who shot his own portrait. You can also aim the camera down your body from eye level. I once took a photo of my own feet in hiking shoes, hanging over the edge of a rocky outcropping in a scenic spot (if you try something like this, just make sure you're in a safe place that you won't fall from). A picture like this will say a lot about your activities and surroundings.

i chose this photo because its lively. you have him in the picture and you can see what he does. i like how he got the volcano in the background. 

i like this one because it has a calming feeling with the little waves and the sun set. 

i like this photo because it shows her face in the window, so her reflection. also i like how she got it with a tree in the background behind her face.

i chose this one because i like the black and white. and with what she is wearing i like how it fits with the environment she is in. 

i like this one because its really simple, its lit up.

i like this photo because the background is blurred out and its just him. 




Plan:
 i will take portraits of pearl. outside in the court yard. and since its an evening class the sunlight will be in our favor. i want the lighting to come out warm and light.
