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

1.) 9 - Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.

2.) Predicting Relationships Within the Frame

A great deal of people photography is understanding human nature and being aware of how people usually react in given situations. If someone is sitting in a café he will usually look up when the waiter approaches. People will generally smile when they see a baby or open a present. Crowds rise when a batter smashes a ball that looks like it's headed for the seats. Think about the situation you are photographing and how people are likely to act in it. Then prepare yourself for the moment.

3.) You can create an especially revealing self-portrait by adding personal memorabilia surrounding your mirrored image, such as photos of yourself at various stages of your life, or anything that tells the viewer about your interests. Besides a mirror, a window can sometimes offer a reflective surface for you to capture your own image.

Environmental Portrait

I really liked this photo because it's expressing their lifestyle. Their hangout, their interests, hobbies, who they are.

I thought this photo was super rad because of the coloring but it's something I feel like I can relate w/.

Photography Self Portrait

I think his photo is REALLY cool. I like how the wind is blowing & it looks like she's blowing w/ . A very cool picture.

I thought this photo was great b/c even though theres other people in the photo, it's clear who & what the subject is.

Casual Portrait

She's gorgeous, It's doesn't look like she put alot of thought into her photo, she looks happy.

I liked this b/c it seems that the couple is unaware that they're being photographed.

My plans for my self-portrait is a photo of myself, i want to shoot it in my room b/c i have blue walls or maybe my sisters  room b/c she has  pink walls. I was thinking maybe I could take it in my backyard on a wooden swing my grandpa made for my sisters & I. I was also thinking in my kitchen b/c it's like really sunny & bright in there . I could also take it out too places i like too go so it can be simply me in my most comfortable enviroment. It's most likey too be a casual photo. I want too take ALOT of pictures & then choose the best one, one that has as many rules of photography as possible. I think I'll have the best luck w/ simplicity & maybe avoiding merges.

1.) The advantages wopuld be the bright lights on a football field at night or the lighting of the indoors helps make the photo have less grain or "noise".

2.) You should use a low iso when there is plenty of light.

3.) You should use a high iso when there isn't enough light for the camera to be able to capture the image quickly.

Lytro Warm-Up

1.) The focus of the subject switched.

2.) The camera can refocus the subjects in the photo once the photo the picture is taken. On a computer or mobile device, you can shift the picture.

3.)The photographer would have to know too be able to capture a photo that would look good, either focused on one subject or the other.

4.) I think it is worth the money. It's pretty dope.

Fashion

1.) The made her neck longer & skinnier, they made her eyes & lips bigger & made her cheekbones pop out more.

2.)I don't think it is b/c it's basically lying, but I can understand that it might help them sell their product. So I guess I'm neutral about it....

3.)I think it would be the worst if they manipulated the photo w/o the models or I guess subjects permission.

4.) Ok Changes would be messed up hair, anything embarrassing or something that throws the photo way off. Not ok changes would be change in physical features, or like I said before anything done w/o the models or subjects permission.

5.)  I think that fashion photography might have more pressure & more focused, while photojournalism, you might be able too take pictures of whatever & there isn't as much pressure.

6.)Photojournalism is taken right in the moment & it's reality being captured in a single shot, while fashion photograph is photoshopped & manipulated which makes it not real.
