Self-Portraits

For this project I had a lot of different ideas. Although a lot of them did no workout, they still captured some really good moments. I think I had to take so many pictures that were the same to find one that I liked. During this project I had to change a lot of thing, like the light or position I was in. The two pictures I like the best are the light and meaningful portraits. I picked these two because they really express the true me. I think it was really difficult to try and get the right amount of light and space. I like how sometimes when you don’t mean or like the idea, the picture still has a chance of turning out good.

In a few of my portrait there were some “Happy accidents” and some that were set up. I think that some of my pictures have good value and meaning. Even though there are something’s I could of and would like to do different, I think they turned out good. The picture that I think has most composition is the meaningful portrait. The portrait I think has the least I would have to say is the line photograph. The reason I think this is because, I think I could use more action.

Trying to take the most perfect picture is not always as easy as you plan. You always have those that are to bright or dark. I struggle with is a lot, but if you keep trying they start to get better. One way I found that helped me is, to take the picture over and over until it’s the way you want. For some photos this problem might mess up the moment. The photo that I think have the least craftsmanship is the line photo. In this photo I look like there is too much going on. But then when I start to think like that I stop and think “well, will the photo not have as much meaning if there were less going on?”

Even though I think there are a lot of things I could have done better, I think they turned out pretty good. If I had to do this again I would think of changing the light and positions. The picture I liked the best would have to be the meaningful because I got to use something important to me. The photo I like the least would have to be the rule of thirds because it doesn’t have that many details in it.
