Self Portraits and Portraits Preview

Tip #1: One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy.

Tips #2: Just thinking about my hobbies and past times, inspired all sorts of photo themes.

Tip #3: Get Closer. Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made.

Environmental portrait

 

I really like how it captures the beauty of the sunset, but can still focus on the subject which it the lady. 

I love how its focusing on the boy, but still has a background to capture someones attention.

casual portrait

Its like the camera isn't there to the baby, that what i love.

I love the its showing that the beauty of the photo is Marilyn Monroe.

formal portrait

I like the formal shot only because its his army picture.

I love this picture not because its formal, but because they look so happy.

photography self portrait

I like how its showing the mad behind the camera.

The focus is the photographer and not a subject, but just her.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. The main point is that photoshop can be good or bad. Most people use it to mess with picture, and other make bad ideas out of them. Also it talks about different stories, and the bad outcome.

B. Its sometimes unethical, cause bad things can come out of the photoshop.

A.. This the most unethical, cause manipulations to make it look like the soldier is telling the poor guy and kid to stay back, but in the original he was waiting for them to come.

B. Its not the bad cause they just fixed her teeth its not like they photoshopped her whole face and change other things.

3. I would take a photo of maybe like a forest during fall and winter, thats when leaves are changing colors and it snows and you can capture a lot of different angles and it will be very different.
