Self Portrait and Portraits

tip one: Try Standing By a Corner

One trick is to stand next to the end of a wall or at a corner. This way you can position yourself even with the wall and achieve a solid focus. So if you focus on the wall, then stand next to rather than in front of it, your focus should be much better.

tip two: lighting
 a single flash can do wonders for your portraits. Photography is about capturing light. You don’t need to buy a flash. You can pick up a small but powerful work light.

 casual photo 1

I picked this photo because its so romantic yet so typical and sweet. The background is simple and the couple is the main focus. 

casual photo 2

I chose this photo because the photo is not as much focused on the apple as it is on the girl. I like it because its very simple yet meaningful.

This photo is so pretty the background is so breath taking and the family of 4 makes the picture even better

The back ground is magnificent and with the man sitting on the mountain is really making a statement. Its full of pretty blues which was what caught my eye at first.

This black and white picture of this girl is so pretty. The background is blurred out and all you attention is on her.

This is also black and white which i love i really has a meaning even though its just a girl it has so much more meaning.

self portrait 2 

This is a photo that really says something. This girl is all cut up in the water and yet she looks as if she's okay. Her face tells a whole story.
