Self Portraits

My idea for the self portraits was to use my self as I am; a very quiet and shy person. I wanted to capture good artistic pictures. When I started to take the pictures began to understand better the project and it helped me get more focused. I think that my light picture was the most creative because it looks like I’m about to touch the sun. Taking these self portraits was difficult because we had to consider a lot of thing before taking the photographs. Creativity has a lot to play with into the success of my self-portraits because this is going to either make our picture look artistic or make them look like any regular picture that everyone takes.

All of my pictures were set up specifically like I wanted them. I think that all my pictures have good emphasis. To help my pictures be more compositionally strong I tried not to have people walking in the background or unnecessary objects so it wouldn’t draw attention form me. Some of the thing that weakened my pictures was lighting. I think that my best picture is the light one because it looks like I’m about to touch the sun. If I could change one of my pictures it would be my rules of third because it came out to gray.

I think that overall all of my pictures have good craftsmanship. I have two pictures that are a little gray. The lack of understanding didn’t help my picture with craftsmanship. I think that my photographs would have been better if I would have use ISO, shutter speed, and f-stop. The weakness of my portraits is that some of them look gray.

Overall I think that my portraits were acceptable. I think that my pictures were well taken. If I had to do this assignment again, I would pay more attention to my colors so when I turned them black and white they wouldn’t look so gray. My favorite shot was the light picture because I liked the effect that the sun gives and it looks artistic. My least favorite was the rule of thirds because it was the picture that looked grayer.
