Portrait Photography

This photo of Julia expresses her fun, energetic, and nature-loving personality. The setting of being in a tree, presents an extreme angle and therefore makes the photo interesting. The photographer is closer to the subject, and the viewer can see more details of her face. The rule of thirds is used, with the subject on the left side of picture. I chose to keep the photo in colour because her blue shirt matches the blue in her eyes, and I thought that brought the picture together more.

This photo of my sister shows her caring, and gentle personality, as well as her love for animals. The photographer is closer to the subject, and her long eyelashes and warm embrace make her seem like a gentle person. The rule of third is used, as the cat's and the girl's eyes are on the top grid line. It is kept in colour to bring out her soft purple coat which provides a darker background for the cat.

This photo captures the subject in mid-laugh. My sister is not looking at the camera, but she is looking off into the distance and laughing, making the viewer wonder what she is looking at. Her bright eyes and wide smile show that she is a happy, energetic, cheerful person. The lines of the fence also follow the line of her sight, bringing leading lines into this picture. It also follows the rule of thirds, as she is on the left side of the picture, and high contrast, as there is a difference between the white background, and her dark purple coat.

This photo of Julia shows her love for reading. The fact that the book is covering her face, indicates that her face could be replaced by a book, since she loves it so much. There is a high contrast with the white background, and the dark subject. Everything seems to be neutral colours such as brown, white, and grey, except for her bright blue shirt which really pops out. The person's face on the book is more or less aligned with her body, making it look like that it is her face.

This photo captures the subject in mid-laugh, showing her fun, carefree personality. Her wide smile and bright eyes make it look like she's having fun. The viewer probably wonders what she is laughing at. There is a high contrast between the white background, and the dark subject.

This photo of Lera captures her in the midst of taking a picture. Her face is relaxed, perhaps concentrating on the photo. The viewer cannot see all of her face, the camera covers most of it. This perhaps expresses her love for photography. She is on the right side of the picture, following the rule of thirds. Her eyes, and the direction of the pointed camera, lead off the picture, making the viewer wonder what she is looking at. The lighting is really nice in this photo, and lights up her hair and parts of  her face.
