For the portrait assignment i want to shoot Christian. I believe a good place to shoot for her is either somewhere in the courtyard or somewhere where there is a lot of flowers and nature. To make this shoot successful I want to be able to use the surrounding to my advantage which is why i want nature involved, it can be used as good props bring good lighting and it just makes a beautiful background. So around the garden or that place in the courtyard with the bench.

Fixed photo shoot

This picture shows like and how it meets up at one point which is the girl and her nike at the ed of the bus.

This shows balance and great lighting which means it had good shutter speed. 

Casual portrait

This picture is vintage and has an oldies feel to it. But even with what you feel its a great photograph that is in perfect balance and its lighting is great.  

This photo uses rule of thirds and the effect of the black and white filter. 

Self Portrait

THis portrait is very serious and plain, but it shows a lot of emotion and value to it. Very balanced and great aperture.  

This photo is very wacky and goofy, but with that it shows how creative the photographer is. 

Environmental portraits

This photo was shot at a very creative angle and set up really beautifully. The whole picture is in proportion and makes it seem as though this is a real life situation. 

THe background is obviously nature. This photo uses rule of thirds to place everything in perfect balance. 

Tips

You could do it by placing your subject in a window or doorway, have them look through a small gap or even use their hands around their face.

Sometimes you want your background to be as minimalistic as possible.

Leave the full image out of focus. To do this again choose a wide aperture but focus well in front or behind anything that is in your image (you’ll need to switch to manual focussing to achieve this).

Aperture

Aperture 

F 2.8

F 16

1. The part of the body that is closely related to the aperture of the camera is the pupils of the human eye. 

2. The smaller the aperture the higher the f-stop. 

    The higher the aperture the lower the f-stop. 

3. The aperture is pretty much what affects the depth of field the most. The higher the aperture the more one object is focused, on some pictures the affects will work on it, but on others the affect will only look like its badly photoshopped. 

cancer picture reaction

1. When I saw this picture there was a flood of emotions that words cannot describe. I've been to something exactly like this with my mother.

2. I agree with this mans words. These images show the way of life and make you feel what he felt at those exact moment makes you know the woman and her husband.

3. I would never have thought of it. It also seems like something you wouldn't think of at the moment.

4.I would tell him to hang in there it will get better, your wife was beautiful so you will never forget her. Never forget those you love and with these images you will never forget.

Nick Brandt

I was pretty much blown away by his photos. They were extraordinary and iconic. Each on head there own very special thing about each of them and that makes them all so powerful.

This photo shows the power of the animals they look strong and real. Its as if Nick is putting me behind the lens and tell me to take a picture of the lions. The image also symbolizes that there is something behind every beast. Obviously these are wild animals and they love in the wild, but there is something about the animals that not everyone sees. But Nick has captured the tremendous moment where love live in the wild.

Nick Brandt's style of photography is totally different than any others. "He photographs on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses." (wikipedia, Nick Brandt) "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close." (wikipedia, Nick Brandt Quote). Which Shows how he really enjoyed capturing images with animals. He did not believe in taking iconic pictures from far away. What are u experiencing when you are yards away from the action. 

Well as you can see in the picture three of the old people on this bench are trying to make this a good picture, while that lovely old lady in the middle real doesn't give a crap. 

Sue the lady in the middle is actually a really nice old lady, she goes to my church an everything I don't know what in heaven or hell possessed her to do this. 

The other men at her side sitting on the bench are actually her older brothers and they are the bad ones. 

This is Mindy. She just got out of jail recently for streaking naked down the road. I asked her to pose as if the whole world was going to see this picture. She did this. 

This is Joe and Miranda they don't know what is going on. Neither does Josie in the back. To sum it up, old people are not good protesters. They pretty much forgot w hat we were protesting about 5 minutes after I told them.

Irving Penn
Ballet Theater 

This photo caught my eye because of the way it was set up. Everyone is in perfect positions to not just make it look like they were posing, but it looks really natural.

I see a large theater, very famous and physically large theater. Actors and dancers rush to get there makeup done and get to their position. I smell sweat of the ballerinas and the dust of all the old props. The tension where usually u can't smell something like that because it is a state of mind. I hear soft dance music, and choreographers and directors giving out orders to make everyone 10x better. Oh its sounds like the doors are opening to let the cheery and excited crowds in. I taste the air its bitter, but sweet, pretty much like coffee. I feel like alice in her theater themed wonderland. 

John Gutman
Bicycle of a Mexican Barber, 
San Antonio, 1937 
This photo caught my eye because of the angle that is was in. The photo looked very weird at first because it was small it actually looked like something else. Once i opened the link it totally surprised me. So from there i really liked the photo. 


I see a motorcycle. Not in motion, but it still keeps your eyes in motion around the photo. I smell the work sweat of the barber after a long day at work under the hot San Antonio sun. I hear the motor slowly awakening ready to drive his owner to his destination. I taste the sensation of the driver ready to move. 

Mural theme

1. We could do a theme that inspires the generation, to break reality and stand out, everyone in there own different way. Break reality.

2. Yes we should use cameras. Not just because some people don't use camera phones, but that there is better quality in real cameras.

3. In the Academic hall.

Lines 

1. How well did you follow the rule?
The rule of lines it that the lines lead you throughout the image if I were to star myself from a scale of 1-10 it would be a 7.

2. What is the subject? 
The subject is what the girl is drawing if you look to the paper you can see that at the moment most of what she has drawn are lines that lead you throughout her paper, but the lines are not leading your eyes across the actual image.

3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject it? 
Like I said before in the last question the image that the girl is drawing is not very clear to the viewer, you could say by looking at this picture, that I did not avoid mergers.

4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently? 
I could have focused more on the drawing and also avoided the merger of the girl's body is pretty much covering the entire drawing.

Rule of Thirds

1.  How well did you follow the rule? 
I believe i followed the rule quiet well. Kai, the name of the girl in the image, her head is right smack on the intersection of the lines if you were to draw an imaginary grid.

2.  What is the subject?
Its the books in the back. No, obviously its Kai and her head.

3. Is it clear to the people looking at your photos what the subject is?
Yes. It's the only thing in the entire picture that is focused.


4. If you didn't follow the rule, what could you have done differently? 
I followed the rule.

Simplicity 

1. How well did you follow the rule? 
If I had to rate my photo on a scale of 1-10 its would be a 9.

2. What is the subject?
The subject are the sticky notes on the wall.

3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
Yes,  by using the bright colors on the sticky notes and bringing them out with photoshop.

4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently? 
Nothing I really like how this picture turned out.

Balance 

1. How well did you follow the rule? 

On a scale of 1-10 about 5. 

2. What is the subject? 

The subject are the students and there desks and how different they all look in the picture so your not just staring at one part of the photo. 

3. Is it clear to the people looking at your photos what the subject is? 

Yes. 

4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently? 

I could have taken at a better angle with better lighting. 

Framing 

1. How well did you follow the rule? 

In my opinion I followed the rule really well. 

2. What is the subject? 

The subject is the view the way the teacher sees the classroom, in other words the teachers point of view. 

3. Is it clear to people looking at your photo what the subject is? 

I believe it would be really easy to figure it out. 

4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have down differently? 

I think this picture si really good the way it is.
