Portraits and Self Portraits

Quotes
1."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"

2."here are a lot of ‘rules’ out there when it comes to composition and I’ve always had a love hate relationship with them. My theory is that while they are useful to know and employ that they are also useful to know so you can purposely break them – as this can lead to eye catching results."

3."Sometimes posed shots can look somewhat…. posed. Some people don’t look good in a posed environment and so switching to a candid type approach can work."




Environmental Portrait

I like that it shows a big part of his life, and I picked it because someone who doesn't know him can look at this picture and get an understanding of what he likes to do.


Self Portrait

I picked this because the camera is well adjusted and doesn't take the focus away from the man's face.

Casual Portrait

I picked this because his face isn't centered but the background is blurred out so he is still the main focus of the photo.
