The Portrait Issue.
what do you think is a PORTRAIT?

What i think is a portrait is taken a picture of someone face. However i change my mind after reading a really helpful essay. It change my mind in a way that i see taking a portrait is more complicate than it sounds. What i now think of an portrait is that the photographer has to have a really intimate relationship with the model in order to have a really pretty image. i now think that a portrait means more and in every portrait there is a meaning. The connection between the model and the photographer have to be from another level, a level which the model can tell a story without even speaking. The model also has to have a good connection with the camera, because the camera is a medium from the model to the photographer.A portrait is something more than a snap shot, it tells a story to the viewer without sound without a clue but with that real person in that moment.

Trees going to heaven

This image was taken i two different places, one place is chaleau Des Montgemery in France an the other part was taken in my photography classroom. i did this effect on photoshop. I also put an effect to put a fake rain bow in the image. i also use the effect thati dartken everthing except me. This picture was intentinal darken. Also the imag is not abstract. You could actually see what the picture has. I don't like this image, and the reason for that is that i am a little to large in the image and you cant see much of the background.

this picture was taken by Darrian. I used different brushes and i also use the color that my T-shirt had. I also used the rule of three, three colors , three kind of brushes. This pictures with the brushes was made thanks to photoshop. I really like the image and I was lucky that my T-shirt had those colors.

softening skin

the image was taken by Darrian . The image was taken outside. The lighting used in this image was natural light.

The model is close to the camera. The background is kind of blurry, it wasn't in purpose. Her face is mostly in focus. When i was taking the picture, I was focusing in the models nose. This image is not abstract, you could see its a person. You could clearly see the models face. The parts that are darker in this image is her hair and her eye brows, also you could see kind of the shadow of her eyes. The picture was taken outdoors , near a brow looking grass.I think the model looks sad. Her emotion in her face is kind of blank, however is trying to communicate some thing, that I can not figure it out.I think I did a really good job in this image. I work hard and I think I am reward with a good image.
