portrait and self portrait

1. move your subject out of their comfort zones
2. a mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait

3. take a series of shots

i like this picture because i think the reflection in the window is very cool 

i like how the bright background reflects the guys mood 

i like this picture because its a clever way to take a mirror selfie

i like this picture because it is another clever mirror selfie

i like this picture because i like the lights behind her and in her glasses

i like this picture because it is unconventional and i like how the girls pants stand out

for my portrait, i was planning on doing either a dance photo or a headshot of a friend from dance. i want to do it at a park, but we will see if i have time to go to a park. to make my shot successful, i will do multiple different shots to see what works best and i will experiment will lighting. for my self portrait, i am leaning towards a dance photo, because dance is a big part of my life. i want to do it at a park and to make my shoot successful, i will set the camera to take a series of pictures to get a clear jump shot.
