Self Portrait warm up

Alter Your Perspective: 

Introduce a Prop:

Candids: Being Unobtrusive

 

I like this picture because it is an action shot, in the air, with a  pretty background. I also chose it because I like soccer and this was appealing to me.

I Like this picture because Alex Morgan Is my favorite soccer player and the background compliments the props.

I chose this picture because I liked seeing Cristiano Ronaldo out of his regular Soccer Uniform.  He is also one of my favorite players. 

1. What are the characteristics of an environmental portrait?

The Picture is taken in an interesting background that is appealing to the eye. 

2. What is the difference between an environmental portrait and a casual portrait?

Environmental is usually taken as a candid where as Casual is taken when the figure is posing.
3. What will you need to do to get a really good self-portrait?

Make sure that the lighting and shutter speed are in a good place while also making sure the aperture is at a good distance. 

4.  When you go take these pictures, and you will eventually turn in one of each, a portrait and a self-portrait, describe to me what you would like to do and who you would like to take a portrait of and where you might shoot these images.

I would like to take these outside because the correct amount of lighting is already available and it can give a very beautiful background. As well as express some emotion to the photo.
