Self Portrait and Portraits part II and Rule of Photography Part II

Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

Environmental Portrait


I really like these two photos because of the background in each photo. For me in the first photo the mountains represent freedom, adrenaline and in the second photo the beach represents peace, fun and calm. That is why I chose these two photos.

Self Portrait


What I like about these photos is that represent confusion and heroism. I picked the first photo because represent heroism and I also like superman, the second photo confused me for awhile but then I could figured out what was it.

Casual Portrait



I like these two photos because represent simpleness and joy. I picked the first photo because how the mom was enjoying the moment with her two sons and the second one because the guy is really simple but I like the style.

I will shoot Jin in any environmental place with flowers and trees. I will make the photo colorful with a good view and also applying one of the rules of photography.

Rule of thirds 

Balancing elements

Leading Lines

Symmetry and Patterns 


Viewpoint

Background


Create depth 


Framing


Cropping
