Portraits & Self Portraits Intro

I think some of the best tips are:

- altering your perspective

- shooting candidly

Environmental Portraits:

I picked this photo because I liked the movement it showed.  I also really like the joyful expression on the guy's face.

I originally picked this photo because my mom is a baker, but I also like the guy's smile.

Self Portraits:

I picked this photo because I like the illusions the guy created by using the mirror.

I picked this photo because I like the illusion it creates and the story it tells.  I originally thought that it was two pictures put together, but then I realized that the girl was just using a mirror.

Casual Portraits:

I picked this photo because I love dogs.  I also like how you can see the relationship between the guy and the dog and how happy they both are.

I picked this photo because I love the emotion it shows.  You can see the connection between the baby and who I'm assuming is her father.

I want to shoot a casual portrait of my friends out in nature.  I will take it when they are just being their natural selves and are having fun.  I want to take my self portrait somewhere in nature.  If the camera has a timer I will set it and go do whatever feels natural to me.
