Portrait Photographer Research

I think this image is good for a few reasons. The composition of the portrait is great; Yousuf did a great job to get the portrait as well to incorporate the smoke into the picture. The lighting is also great in this picture, gives it a sense of depth as you can see the shadows and highlights.  The dark background really makes the smoke stand out as well as Humphrey Bogart.

I think this is a great portrait because of the interesting subject and the natural lighting.  This photo is very eye catching and interesting to see the skinny little boy holding a toy grenade.  The natural lighting is nice to just see some shadows and highlights falling on the ground.

I like this photo portrait because it’s not just like an ordinary Portrait photo, it brings out emotion. This portrait is well composed by not just having him stand in the very middle.  It uses lighting well to have some depth to the portrait.  

Self Reflections

Bathroom Selfie

1. I picked this image in particular because I thought the Hand Dryer reflection gave off a cool effect, It almost looks like a Fish eye.

2. I Set myself up in front of the Hand Dryer and put myself in Focus for the shot.

3. What Stands out is the most is Myself in the Reflection

4. I first look at myself in the reflection (which is what is in focus) and then move around the mirror to see the background

Formalism

Net

1. I picked this shot because it demonstrates good use of lines and patterns.

2. I saw the lines of the net then lined up beside it and focused on the netting closest to me.

3. The in focus netting stands out the most.

4. The lines of the net is what leads your eye around the photo.

Hands & Eyes

Grandad

1. I picked this Image in particular because this is the one that stands out the most to me and it is my favourite shot I got.

2. I had my Grandad sit close to a Window for some lighting then I just wanted to get a close up of his one eye so went close up and filled the frame.

3. What stands out the most is his Blue eye 

4. What leads my Eye around the photo is the wrinkles on his skin
