Self Portrait and Portraits

Step 1: "Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror." 
            "A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait."

Step 2: Environmental Portrait
            I picked these images because they are both like a sepia color.


Step 3: Casual Portrait
            I picked these pictures because they are casual


Step 4: Formal Portrait
           I picked these images because they were formal


Step 5: Photography Self Portrait
           I picked these pictures because they are good pictures of a single person



Plan: I will be taking pictures of Josef. I will be shooting in school, and maybe outdoors. I will practice at school.

Africa and Mural


It is my favorite photo because of the background and it looks like there is a mother and baby giraffe. The trees are so beautiful around them. In my opinion the rule for this photo is framing. The trees is what is framing the giraffes.

  1. The kind of camera that he used was a Pentax 67 with only two fixed lenses.

  2. His hopes for taking photos is to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hands of a man.
  3. "Many pictures convey a rare sense of intimacy, as if Brandt knew the animals, had invited them to sit for his camera, and had a prime portraitist's intuition of character...as elegant as any arranged by Arnold Newman for his human high achievers"

  1. I would include science experiments
  2. Its very detailed, other students would probably care mostly about the editing
  3. The advantages are that you can get good angels. The disadvantages are that you can zoom in as much.
  4. The advantages are that the pictures can come out very clear and disadvantages are that you can't edit immediately
  5. SLR cameras because they are more clear
