Portraits and self portraits intro
Tips:
1. Experiment with lighting: Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.
2. Anticipating behavior: The key is to watch people carefully. Always have your camera ready. If you;re going to be shooting in one situation, set the aperture and shutter speed in advance so you don't have to fiddle with them while you're shooting.
3. Looking off camera: Have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera. This can create a feeling of candidness and also create a little intrigue and interest as the viewer of the shot wonders what they are looking at.
Environmental Portrait:
I like this photo because the berries make it look like the man is walking through a sea of red and it looks really cool.
I like this photo because it really captures the fisherman in his element.
Photography self portrait
I've seen this photo a lot on the internet and I like it because even though the mirror is in the way, the photo was manipulated to look like the mirror was reflecting the background of the pictures with the trees and the grass.
I like this photo because it shows a clear subject and the smoke and stuff makes it look angelic and pure almost.
Casual portrait
I like this photo because the baby is in a calm and simple environment, and is clearly preoccupied with the flower he's holding so he's not looking directly at the camera.

I like this photo because of the blur in the background and that the man is looking out of the view of the camera so he could be looking at anything but we could never know.
Plan:
I will take pictures of my friends. There's a party I'm going to where I think I could shoot some candids of people really engaging and being in the moment. I could also take photos of my friends on the walk home from the bus. It's a calm street with fences for simple backgrounds and not all the houses and trees block the view of the sky. I also have a really good friend who's always down to walk around and take pictures. To make the shots successful I will kneel and get different perspective shots instead of just standing straight and getting the same angle every time.
