Self portrait and portrait info

1. Alter Your Perspective
2. Hold Your Camera on an Angle
3. Experiment with Subject Expressions


Environmental portrait:
               

What i liked about these photos is that in the first one it has a lot of color and i think that caught my eye while i was looking at all the photos.  The second one i thought was a very rustic and cool toned picture and i think in these photos that both people are content with their environment.

Self portrait:
               

I liked these photos because in the first on it really explains a self portrait to me and is very vintage and cool.  While in the second one it has a deeper meaning and it very meaningful, but still conveys a self portrait.

Casual portrait:
                   

Both of these photos show a casual portrait type of photo, in the first one it shows a girl posing for a photo she's taking.  And in the second one it shows a man posing for a photo being taken.  I think a casual portrait is one of the most popular type of portraits and these photos were very cool looking.

For my portrait assignment I am going to be shooting people and their expressions and also shoot objects, while also keeping some type of theme throughout all of the pictures.  I think I will shoot towards downtown and in my neighborhood. That way I can get the kids expressions and happiness and capture that in my photo in my neighborhood, but while I'm downtown I can get cool objects and stores.  To make my pictures and shooting successful I will use different angles in my pictures to make it more fun and understanding.  I will also play with the lighting to see if that makes my pictures cooler and looking better.

a. Ethics vs. Aesthetics is one of the main points of this article because it talks about the differences between the two. b. Washington Post and New York Times both  provide photographers with strict guidelines on how to shoot and edit their photographs. c. I think some acceptable things that you could do without using unethical things are correcting red eyes, maybe changing the filter, and cropping it. To help the photo really be enhanced and defined. d.   i think this is unethical because the filter and editing is not good. On the left side it is more grainy and undefined and on the right it is more standard and natural. e. This photo is the most unethical to me because it is very fake like you can tell that they imprinted that in their photo and manipulated it a lot.  This photo makes it harder to detect fake photos they started doing this in the early 1900's.

Great white and black photographers PART 3

1) One thing that caught my eye while looking at Minor Whites photos was that his photos were very different from other photographers photos. Meaning a lot of the photographers photos were very beautiful, but some were very similar from the others and sometimes they were just boring. But Minor Whites photos are very cool because he took landscape photos which i really like because of the senory and everything that is going on in that photo - I see a window that has light reflecting in and out of the window. Which is making a circular shape of light that really caught my attention. Because a lot of the other photos had a lot of going on and this one was very simple and i liked that cause it was different. - I smell the dry air blowing through window going in and out of the house.  I smell the dust coming of the curtains and into my nose. And the pollen getting on my clothes which makes me sneeze. - I hear the wind whistling in and out of the window. I hear the dogs barking at...
