Portrait/ Self Portrait Preview


Love and Loss Warmup
1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images? I felt sad as i worked my way through these images. 

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos? These photos capture the chronological order of hardships the woman went through but they don't define how she felt during them.
3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?
I don't think i could shoot photos like this if i were in this situation because it would make me to sad.
4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him? If i could write a letter to anglo i would apologize for his loss and give him positive feedback on his extraordinary photos.

2-3 best tips

3) Experimenting with your background 
 Environmental Portraits
I choose this image because the angle was really cool. 

I liked this image because the lady is on a tire and i find that very interesting. 


Photography self portrait
I choose this photo because i thought this persons face was very funny. 

I choose this photo because i thought it was interesting that the mans face blends into the background. 

Casual portrait
I choose this picture because it is interesting how the background is blurred while the main subject 
I choose this image because i thought the angle the camera was at made the image look very interesting 

I will take a picture of one of my neighbors. I will take the portrait of them outdoors in our neighborhood.  In order to make the shoot successful i will Alter my Perspective, Introduce Movement, and  experiment with my background.

American Soldier

A. I think the most powerful image in the slideshow is the image of Ian being reunited with his girlfriend after he survived the war.
B.
Set 1 - at home  - Image #1 to Image 4 
Set 2 - basic training - Image #4 to Image 20
Set 3 - in Iraq - Image 20 to Image 27
In Image #28 he is back at home in Denver

C.
The set of images that were the most powerful was set 2. Set 2 had the most powerful pictures because the pictures showed Ians transition into a soldier. 
D. The images worked together to tells the story by showing the pictures in the order that Ian lived them. 
E. The verbs are usually written in past tense.
F.
The captions enhance the photographs by giving the images a very dramatic backstory. 
G.
After Ian graduated high school, he decided to join the army. he said goodbye to his friend and family and shipped out only 2 weeks after his high school graduation. He went to boot camp, encountering Intense physical training and high-decibel harassment. He soon realized that he had entered ''a new and different culture.'' After his 14 weeks, Ian could finally put his training to use in Iraq.  After he fights for his country, Ian is welcomed home by his friends and family.
