Some Self Portrait tips 1) Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

2) If you're using a long lens and are some distance from your subject, it will probably be a while before the people in the scene notice you. You should be able to compose your image and get your shot before this happens. When they do notice you, smile and wave. There's a difference between being unobtrusive and unfriendly. Another way to be unobtrusive is to be there long enough so that people stop paying attention to you.
3) You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror. This method also requires a self-timer, or a remote triggering device if your camera has one. Once again, if you use a self-timer, you'll need to get into position before it goes off.
Enviromental portraits
- I chose this photo because it reminds me of the poor little kids/adults in the other countries working for pennies a WEEK and its just sad because they did'nt have a choice to work for life they were born into it. And I also like this photo because not of what shes doing but the fact that shes looks just like my great grandmother , her name was zhexing lee.
- I chose this photo because its like a darkness around her and she stands out with a red dress. And to me it symbols the devils darkness but she is not scared because shes covered in the blood of jesus. That is why i chose and LOVE this picture.
Self-portrait Photography
- I chose this photo because it looks like he's sinking into the wall or like hes disinigrating into peices of paper. And I like this photo because it shows alot of detail like the shadow of the peices coming from him.
- I chose this photo because it looks very vintage. And I also like this photo because the pink flowers all around her is like beauty and it really goes with her eyeshadow and just her entire look.
Casual Portraits
I chose this photo because this baby girl it next to a glass door and its like she has a twin. I also chose this photo because I like that the photo is kind of blurred in the back to put more attention on the baby girl.
- I chose this photo because it has alot of love in it and both the baby and mother are smiling. And I really like this photo because This mother has alot Of love and affection for her child and I like that
Who will you shoot: I would like to take the photo of my bestfriend, Elisa Garcia
Where will you shoot: I would like to shoot in maybe a hallway or a place with good lighting. maybe outside in the courtyard.
What will you do to make the shot successful: I will make sure she agrees to the photo and that I avoid any mergers. And I would like to maybe to rule of thirds and get some framing in there too. Especially framing and possibly some simplicity also. I am also going to do maybe a 600-800 range of ISO and i want a 1/600 shutter speed to catch pretty much everything.
