portraiture

 for this assignment i took photos of other people and set up the scene by having them outside and by nature. i used rule of thirds to help my composition. i took photos outside because the lighting was great and it helped my pictures. i chose other people and nature to take pictures of because i liked the scene it created having the people in cloudy weather. i also incorporated humor because i think that is a big part of myself and the friendship with the people i took pictures of. this assignment helped me see my world differently by helping me notice good dramatic scenes and take pictures of people without them being candid. my strengths in this assignment were setting up the scene and using my voice as an artist. my weaknesses were not having enough variety and not using enough originality in my photos. i would have gone to multiple places to take these pictures instead of just one place.
