Part 3

Photo Composition:

This photo has simplicity/ background, because the photo has plain simple background to make the subject stand out more.

Fill the frame/cropped, because the photo the photo looks more filled instead of a lot of space that could distract us from the main point of the photo

Mergers, because the audience distracts me from the subject in the photo. The audience gets in the way of the main point of the photo 

Rules of thirds, because the photo has a well balanced composition. The subject of the photo stands out more and creates an interesting image. I think this photo could also show simplicity because the background doesn't distract people from the main subject.

*Tips

1. Creating a Theme

Two items make a photo, the subject and backdrop, and I think that they are equally important. This is where your lens choice comes into play. A long lens allows you to send the back ground out of focus and narrow down the amount of background in the photo. A wide lens keeps the background in focus and allows it to be a key part of the image. Either way the background is playing a big factor by being a key element or by not distracting from the subject.

2. Get Closer

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.

Environmental portrait: 

i liked this one because this portrait told us what she/he likes to do and creates a good theme of environment

Casual Portrait:

 I liked this one because he/she took a close up picture, he/she looks very casual, and has a neutral background.

Formal Portrait:

 I liked this portrait for formal because it seems formal but gives off maybe what he likes to do
For the portrait to the right, it just shows more emotion and formalness.

Self Portrait 1:

 I like this one because it seems interesting, it makes me wonder what she's thinking.

Self portrait 2:

This is very creative and tells me what he thinks is apart of him.

Planning Ahead:

For my portrait assignment i will shoot maybe one of my friends or family. I will shoot this outside or indoors maybe at my home. I will use the tips and ideas the several websites gave me.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

Untitled, 2008

I see . . .

Trees, 
a field, 
A pond with leaves lightly landing on the water.
The sun light resting on the water.
 In the background I see trees already barren of their leaves.

I smell . . .

I smell the fresh air. 
The rain that had just fell. 
The pond water.
The fresh cut grass.
The tree sap

I hear . . .

The wind crashing into my ear 
The whisper of the pond 
The leaves falling onto the ground and water and the
The birds whistling

I taste . . .

The moist air.
The potato chips I'm eating
My apple juice I'm drinking
My Chapstick I just bought.

I feel . . .

The moist air

The pond

The grass I'm sitting on

the leaves on the ground

The tree bark

I would like to create a powerpoint to help explain who my favorite photographer is.
