Self Portrait Part 1 and 2

1.There are several ways to approach self-portraits. One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens. Just remember that a self-timer will give you a very limited amount of time to get in position (usually 10 seconds). It helps if you can get a friend to be a stand-in until you can be there, or mark your spot with tape or chalk.
2.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.
3.Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Environmental Portrait 

 I think i like this photograph because of the lighting and nature touch it has it gives the viewer a glimpse of what the person in this photo is probably tied to which is the horse and nature.

Im a sucker for a photograph that has depth and meaning and i think not only does this photo have meaning but i personally feel as though i want to know more about this person and their story and guitar. I love the position of the guitar and him i like this photo overall. 

Self Portrait 

 I really like this photo because i of the position in which she's in makes her look strong and determined and gives off as how every woman should be. I don't know something about this photo makes me like it.

The way she has the eye on the paper makes me want to say "what is she doing?" which i think is the reason i chose it because i really like the way it tricks your eye into making you believe its something when its something totally different! Love it.

Casual Portrait

 I love fall and even though we haven't been getting much cold weather in texas i do like the setting of this photo and i like the way it was taken.

This is that kind of photo where you see a more natural soft side of a person because the lighting and moment in which this was taken i think was perfect because it gives this person a soft natural look even if in their situation its a totally different scenario happening.
