1. Looking Off Camera- Have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera. This can create a feeling of candidness and also create a little intrigue and interest as the viewer of the shot wonders what they are looking at.
2. Experiment With Lighting- Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them up.
3. Introduce Movement- keep your subject still but having an element in the scene around them move.
Environmental Portraits:
I like how unique this photo is and how it shows that the subject is different than the "typical" boy. I like how he stands out, but the background is interesting too which balances the image.
I like the emotion that is show in this picture, not just the girl's, but the horse's too. The horse and girl have an untold bond that I can just see without being told.
Portrait Assignment Plans:
I wan to take pictures of my sister and dad because it would be easy to communicate with them and I can tell them exactly what I want to see and take pictures of. I want to capture my dad building houses or discussing things with his business partner at their work site, which is in the woods. I want to make almost all of the pictures candid because I want to have my photos portray action and focus (not on the camera) from the subject towards what they're doing. If that shoot idea doesn't work out, then I want to do the shoot with my sister on her trampoline. She does gymnastics and I think it would look really good if I used different movement techniques and rule of thirds in that shoot.
