Portrait Reflections

Describe

I took 15 photos of myself, and 15 photos of a friend, simply because that was the assignment. I chose to stay inside because I felt that, that is where I was most comfortable. The scenes were easy to make, I just chose rooms with the best lighting I saw.

Analyze

I made sure to check my ISO values, focusing on my rule of thirds and trying my best to not center things. 

Interpret

Honestly, this assignment was rough for me. I find it easy to take photos and portraits of my friends, but never have I had to take photos of myself. I am actually pretty shy in front of the camera.. with this I decided to actually embrace this shyness and incorporate it within my photos and use that as my voice.. Therefore now you have a photo of me, covering everything on my face other than eyes. only a little of me was shown. 

Evaluate

Weaknesses - being in front of the camera.

Strengths - taking photos of my friend for the other 15 photos.

To work on my weaknesses I think I need to pretend that I am one of my friends so I can feel more confident and know how to position myself, if that makes sense.
