Self Portrait & Portraits Part II.

1) Always be on the lookout for the telling moment. Every person has a story, and every picture should tell part of that story.

2) Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, and don’t be afraid to over-act.

I picked this photo because of how the photograper chose to use the girl's reflection from the window and what i really like about this picture is that she doesnt look like she went out to take a picture her hair is just sort of thrown up and messy.

I picked this picture because the strings from the guitar sort of lead to his face that's leaning on the guitar, something i really liked about this picture was how he sort of looks rough and tough the picture says he plays guitar and the tattoo sort of finishes the wild look.

I picked this picture because of how all the colors are sort of neutral and then her bright blue nail polish on her hands sticks out and i really like how she covers her face with her own hair, it gives a sense that she's shy or hiding in her own portrait.



















I picked this picture out because it has kind of weird split-personality thing going on, and i really liked how her hand sort of lingers right near her jaw like she's trying to hold herself together.






















I picked this picture because it is black and white so it leaves nothing left to distact, and i really liked how her outfit sort of made her personality seem dorky with the suspenders and all, and the lighting gives sort of a shine to her eyes.

I picked this photo because of the angle of the camera, it's kind of different and gives a different perspective, & i really liked how there's no expression at all on his face and i think he looks just so innocent.

For the portrait assignment i'd like to take pictures of my sister, Kaitlyn, possibly in our living room doing one of the crazy things she is constantly doing, like playing or sitting in the toy box reading a book or making a mess for example. To make sure i get a quality shot i will first watch her to make sure she is intrigued in whatever it is that she is doing that way i will be able to take plenty of pictures without her bothering to see what's going on.
