assignment number fo.

ahh the portrait assignment.
i learned a lot while doing this.
number one- once i mastered that my life is the tripod i thought i was set but i came to this assignment and i figured out i am not. people move. after all the time i put into this assignment i would have really pretty pictures of people and then look deeper into them and notice that they moved a wee bit and ruined the whole picture. so that ruined a lotttttttttt of my images and its just easier to shoot things that do not move!
nubmer two- pick a patient subject. haha my two friends were so great. they stuck with me enough to get their photos done. although they complained i told em to shut up and they did. on the other hand my sister was the opposite. that is why you only see photos of two people. although i woulda loved to put pictures up of my sis she was not patient at alll! even though i shot her twice it didnt matter all the pictures turned out really crappy. if i were to do this again i would pick my third person who i know would be reliable and wouldnt move.
number three- get a plan. i talked about this a ton in my other blog. but i went back and shot all my models again and my pictures were soooooooo much better (except for my sister those didnt change!) but i saw major improvement. i went into it the second time around and did exactly that i wrote and it worked.
analyze- i loved loved loved loved most of my pictures. i thought i captured my friends really well i love the one of karissa knelt down and the one of hillary where her hand is in her hair i think is beautiful. out of the ones i turned in i dont really like the one of hillary by my shutters i think it looks kinda odd, so i would leave that one out. i learned a lot about light on this assignment i think i captured the difference of light and where to place my subjects. i also learned that im scared of backround it can make the photo horrible! i kinda see a trend in this assignment and my other one that i like really simple straight to the point photography and really up close. i think its cool that i can analyze myself in how i take pictures...haha. but all in all this assignment has helped and improved me. and i will take everything ive learned and applied it to my next one!
