Portrait Photography

The first thing I see in this photo is the lighting and the different colors that are being contrasted. This photo doesn't tell a story, it just shows that it is most likely at a rock concert. What makes it professional looking is that the lighting doesn't look like something that you would be able to be notice in the basic snapshots. I think the photographer photographed the person this way because of the way it shows what kind of person it may be. Also the way the lighting and the other members of the band are just in the background and the person being photographed is the main focus. This photo inspires me to take more photos at concerts because they can turn out really good as long as you plan out when to take them and with the high shutter speed you can get some really neat looking photos. Especially with the lighting of the concert, it could turn out looking really good.

When I first look at this photo I see a person that is kind of surprised that someone took the picture and the background is well thought out. It may tell some sort of story, like a girl was alone in the forest just thinking about something that maybe was bothering her and was surprised by a photo. It makes it a professional photo the background was thought out and the story line goes along with the mood of the photo. I think the photographer took the photo this way because it shows that the person being photographed is being what she wants to be, not just staging something for the photo. This photo as well inspires me to take more portraits outdoors and have moods that the people being photographed have created.

When I first see this photo I see a very happy and confident person. This photo doesn't tell a story but the person seems to be thinking of something happy or good in her life because her smile doesn't seem fake it seems like she really does have something to smile about. What makes it look professional is that the background is blurred out and they photographer has taken moods into consideration. Also the photographer also had her pose so it wasn't just a generic snapshot that you see everyone taking. I think that the photographer posed her this way because it makes the photo different and there isn't going to be a bunch more people that have the same photo. This inspires my next portrait because it makes me remember that the person can't just can't be standing there, there has to be posing of some sort. Also, the background can't just be plain, it has to have some meaning.

When I first look at this photo I notice that the rule of thirds is used. Also I notice that the background has the town or city portrayed behind it. This photo doesn't really tell a story but the person that is being photographed seems to be really relaxed and happy. This portrait looks professional because it actually has a well thought out background and the lighting was also thought of. I think that the photographer took this picture because of the aspects of the background and how the moods of the person being photographed is taken into consideration. This inspires me to take more portraits outside and not always taking them inside.

When I first look at this photo I see a completly destroyed building or house and the girl kind of looks scared like she did something wrong. The photo may be telling a story, like someone got angry and couldn't deal with the anger so they destroyed a house. The reason this picture looks different from a basic snapshot is that it doesn't look like someone just randomly took the picture it looks like a model is in it almost. It reminds me of something that would be photographed on Americas Next Top Model as a challenge. I think that the photographer posed her in this way because it shows that not all pictures have to be of something happy, they can kind of have a depressing feel to them. This photograph inspires me to take my next portrait shot in the sense that not everything has to be the way people would expect them to be, they can be different and out there.
