Front Pages if the World

 

1. Favorite Newspaper front page: Silver City Sun-News. It's my favorite because the headline and picture worked together so nicely and it really caught my attention.
2. The paper is from Silver City New Mexico
3. My favorite headline is "Woman injured in drive-by", not because of the story is summarizes, but for the attention grabbing aspect of it. 
4. The story of the woman injured in the drive by, works because it contrasts with the happy violinist.
5. All the newspapers have a bold headline and a big picture on the front page.
6. The layout of all the newspapers differ.

Self Portrait and Portraits 5

photography self portrait

 I chose this photo because I think the composition of it is really nice, how your attention is guided from Paul and the baby, to his wife, to the dog in the back. It's set up very nicely. Also it's Paul McCartney soo

FORMAL PORTRAIT

Google images pls. This is killing me. You can tell the cat is just so done. Love this photo though, really stuck out among all the serious soldier formal pictures. Well, I mean, who am I to say that this man and his cat aren't soldiers.

OooO she's killin it. You can just tell from her face that she knows she's better than you.

Self Portrait and Portraits 3

CASUAL PORTRAITS

 

 I chose this "casual" portrait of Ellen Page because she's a favorite actress of mine, and she's so righteous I can't even handle it. RIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUS

I chose this picture because it makes me smile. I don't understand how he is so casual in this stance in those socks. Too great.

Self Portrait and Portraits 2

ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS

I chose this photo because I really think it tells a very interesting story and the composition is set up perfectly. Simple, yet complex. 

I chose this photo because it's hardcore. YOU'RE NOT HARDCORE, UNLESS YOU LIVE HARDCORE. I like the lighting as well. The woman in the portrait reminds me of Rosie the Riveter.

Self Portrait and Portraits 1

Self portraits are tough for a number of reasons; you can’t see yourself to know how you look until after the fact (tip don’t forget to suck that gut in). Setup can be more time consuming due to the running back and forth setting timers. Focus is difficult because again you can’t see where that focus point is resting and if you are using a timer mode there is a chance you weren’t in the frame when the camera found something to focus on.

Tip #1: Bring Something to Focus On

One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy. If you have an extra tripod or light stand, these make perfect substitutes that will stand upright exactly where you need them. I was out in my yard so I grabbed a shovel from my shed, stuck it in the ground, focused and then moved the shovel. Rudimentary, but it worked perfectly.

Tip #2: Capture You

 A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality. And most of all, have fun!

Tip #: Get Closer

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
