This weeks assignment, if you didn’t know, was to take some portrait pictures. Our assignment was to make a least 4 new portraits photographs and one of those photographs need to include 2 or more people. Luckily, I like to think that I am a little experienced with portrait photography because I run a photography business. I happened to have set up a meeting with a few people that wanted a few more photos of them dressed up in their wedding garments. Also, it never fails that I think the cutest pictures are of my children, but I am a little biased in that department.

This is an image of my daughter, and I took it on the couch in my apartment. Right behind the couch and to the left in this picture is a very large window that lets in a lot of light. I really like this photograph because of the dramatic lighting it puts on her face. This image is SOOC, trying to stay with that all semester and doing ok at it.

This is one of the photographs that I made of a couple that needed some more photographs of them in their wedding attire. I thought that this was an interesting angle and really shows that they are close. I mean, lets be honest, no one would get that close if they didn’t feel comfortable near each other. This image is SOOC.

One of the hardest thing is to get an image of my son. I think it has gotten to the point that he is so sick of getting his picture taken that he actually screams at us when ever we point a camera at him. When I say scream I mean SCREAM. He shouts NO and runs while hiding his face. For this photograph I was able to snick it in because he was wanting a glass of milk. This image is SOOC.

This is the last picture for this assignment, even though I have so much more I could share. It has been a pretty intense week and I really tried to do some research on new poses, and I ended up finding something similar to this photograph above. I like bokeh and how the focal length was done. This image is SOOC.
Nice portraits. I have a harder time with portraits but you have taken some creative ones. I really like them.
good job on the portraits. I liked that you took shots from different angles and mixed it up a bit. Portraits can look really cliche if you don’t think out of the box. You did a good job.
You are really good at photographing people. My favorite would be the one of your daughter or the couple with the different colored eyes. It’s a really creative picture and I love the angle and closeness of it.
