1- "Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly
staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be
afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your
memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a
proper gold-nugget of a self portrait."
2-"Anticipating Behavior
An important element in
people photography is knowing your subjects well enough to be able to
anticipate what they are going to do. It's the only way you are going to
be able to get pictures of it. If you wait until you see it, it's too
late. 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. Watch people through the viewfinder. If you're
paying attention, you'll sense what's about to happen."
3-"There are several ways to approach self-portraits. One way is to frame
an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on
a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your
camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front
of the lens. Just remember that a self-timer will give you a very
limited amount of time to get in position (usually 10 seconds). It helps
if you can get a friend to be a stand-in until you can be there, or
mark your spot with tape or chalk."
I like this photo because It looks like the photo I would take because I love dancing. And I love how the photographer used the lines in the window seals to lead up to the subject.
I love this photo because of the unfocused part of it. It gives a sense of curiousity and wonder of what is behind all the unfocused material.
This photo is so unique with the fogged rain makes the person look so mysterious. And its in black and white.
This casual portrait is so beautiful with the rule of thirds and colors and of course the wonderful kiss.
My Portrait
The photo I will take will be of my sister if she decides to participate. And she will be on her drums or piano. Where she will be wearing a little eyeliner, and blush. I'm thinking of having a single light on her and I really want to put glitter or something that will move on her instrument when she plays. This photo will take perfect timing. This photo will either be taken in the garage where my sisters drum set is or in the living room where the piano is. I hope to make this photo successful by having a dark background using simplicity, shooting the photos in different positions, and If I use the piano I would use lines. I will need to buy glitter or some kind of material like it. And the toughest thing will be to get my sister to wear makeup.
