I like these 2 photos because they have the main subject centered and they display the environment in different ways. The top photo displays the environment as a calm and relaxed as for the bottom on it shows a mess and the hard things. I love the colors on the top photo it gives the photo a sense of relaxation.

In these 2 portraits the photographer is being reflected through his glasses lens and a marble. I like how the photographer got creative and did something different to show themselves. In the first portrait I like that the big picture is part a guy's face but then when you look at his glasses you can see a small picture. In the second portrait I like how the photographer is holding the marble in his hand it makes me think.

I like these two casual portraits, they tell some kind of story. I like how the top portrait is a shadow of the main subject, the photographer cuts off her legs but you still know they are there. The bottom portrait has the two main subjects centered and I like how they are surrounded by leaves and behind them is the beautiful sky and the water.

For the assignment I will be taking portraits of my partner or I will get a friend out of class. In order for my portraits to be successful I will have to keep in mind the background and try to make it look plain and not busy. I want to get casual and some environmental portraits of my subject. I will also get one self portrait on a reflected object somewhere around the school.
