2-3 Tips for portraits
1. Break the Rules of Composition
  I liked this tip because for me it can be pretty hard to even follow the rules of composition in the first place, so being able to break them seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.
2. Get Closer
   I liked this tip because I feel like getting closer to the subject would have a better impact then being far away, getting closer or focusing on just a certain thing could make the image or the message more powerful.

Environmental Portraits:

I liked this picture because while the setting wasn't necessarily objectively "beautiful" the dancer and then the lighting of the sun showing through gives it a sense of beauty, and tranquility 
It also proves that a dancer is a dancer everywhere, no matter their "environment"









This portrait intrigued me because its not a posed picture, or at least it doesn't look posed. It looks just as if this man was walking and the photographer just ended up getting a nice picture, clear and precise.







Casual Portrait:

This portrait looked the most "casual" to me, which is why I picked it. The subject is in casual clothing and in a casual place.

This picture seemed very natural to me. The subject doesn't look uncomfortable or too posed, just like she's smiling, it reminds me of an Instagram picture








Formal Portrait:

I liked this picture because there is nothing distracting me from the subject

okay I just thought this was a beautiful picture, she's beautiful, the dress is beautiful, the flowers, all of it.















Self Portrait:

I can tell that this is the photographer, because the camera is there, but she's not behind it, like she would usually be.

I like this picture because it shows two different sides of an artist.










For this Portrait Assignment I think that I would like to do a close up picture of a face, like TIME magazine usually does 
I also liked I-D's covers, where the model is always covering one of her/his eyes. I think its pretty cool especially the different ways they cover it, they use props or their hair on a hair wrap and i think its interesting.
Im going to be shooting andrew's face for this assignment, probably outside.. or maybe inside i mean it doesn't really matter since you won't really be able to see the background anyway, you'll just be seeing his face.
