I like the lighting in both of these and the style they dress haha. I think the girls are just being them selfs and I think it makes the photo more real and i wunna try to do that in my photos.

1. Alter Your Perspective

Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.

Get up high and shoot down on your subject or get as close to the ground as you can and shoot up. Either way you’ll be seeing your subject from an angle that is bound to create interest.

3. Break the Rules of Composition

There are a lot of ‘rules’ out there when it comes to composition and I’ve always had a love hate relationship with them. My theory is that while they are useful to know and employ that they are also useful to know so you can purposely break them – as this can lead to eye catching results.

The Rule of Thirds is one that can be effective to break – placing your subject either dead centre can sometimes create a powerful image – or even creative placement with your subject right on the edge of a shot can sometimes create interesting images.

Another ‘rule’ that we often talk about in portrait photography is to give your subject room to look into. This can work really well – but again, sometimes rules are made to be broken.

4. Experiment with Lighting

Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.

Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.

Using techniques like slow synch flash can create an impressive wow factor.

I plan on shooting my friend moRAWRgan, and if i can take my camera home maybe my grandpa because he just always have the craziest face expressions. I want to take my photos outside were its really sunny because i like the lighting. I think it would look really nice with the black and white. =]

I like this photo because the puppy dog is soo cute, and i like how hes just looking at the person taking the picture. His nose even looks like a little heart. I think this photo would be rule of thirds.

I love how this photo looks and i like how close the person is to the squirrel its so kool how close he is. I think this photo could be background because you got the squirrel and the hands and then in the back is the tree leaves and stems.









I like this photo because it looks like fun, i love playing in the water. I also like how the city is just sitting in the back. I think this photo would be background and maybe rule of thirds.

1. My favorite memory of the holiday mmmm would be seeing my new baby cousin, he is soo cute and so little bitty. >_< .
2. I didn't really go anywhere, maybe to some friends houses if that counts, and i went to see Sherlock Holmes I thought it was a good movie.
3. I think ill remember it by seeing my first show at south by south west which was sooo fun, i almost lost my shoes there. I also learned how to drive in 2009, and i was pretty good my first time.
