Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

-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.

-Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.

Environmental portrait:
 I chose this picture because i like how the picture was taken outside but, the background looks dirty, abandoned, and its in black and white but than the girl in the picture has color, a dress on and has her hair and make up done.

I like this picture because the guy has a guitar in his hand and two rows or them on each side of him and they all have the same design different colors though.

Self portrait:
 I chose this picture as my favorite because it had three different portraits but in the end it has a self portrait of himself and it seems really interesting how he took this picture.

I like this picture because of the mans face, hes acting silly and has his hands on his face doing some kind of signs.

Casual portrait:
I chose this picture because i love it, his the picture is simple but his glasses catch your attention, also i like how the air plain in the background is white and it doesn't take the attention from the focus.

I chose this picture because i like how they changed the point of view and how they created depth in it.

For my photograph i am going to take a picture of Asia, i am going to take the picture by the new tech hall by the stairs, also i am going to make sure that the focus and the lighting are in place and change the view point and create depth into the picture i wanna think of all of the rules that we have learned.
