Self Portraits Part 2
First websites tips:
1. Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.
2. If you’ve got a remote trigger, that’s usually a better and more controllable than trying to use the self-timer.
Second website tips:
1. Get Closer The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects.
2. Approaching Unfamiliar Cultures One of the keys to success in photographing cultures different from your own is doing as much research as you can before you go.
Third Website Tips:
1. Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life
2. Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky.

photography self portrait
I really like this picture because to me it means that on the outside she is happy but on the inside she feels like the picture she put in front of he face.
This picture doesn't show her face but its different than other self portraits.
Environmental portrait
I like this picture, its cute.
This picture reminds me of texas, to me it shows different types of environments.
casual portrait
I chose this one because its a different pose than the rest and she brought a chair so it was a little of originality.
What i like about this photo is that the photographer used a little of the background, but still made her the main focus.
Who will you shoot? Karla Sanchez
Where will you shoot? In the barn or near a garden
What will you do to make the shot successful? Make her the main focus, let her be who she is, and let her have fun with it.
