Partner Portrait- Evaluation

· How can photography be used to show something unique about an individual?

Photography, if used correctly can show unique things about people. If you use it correctly, you might be able to express things that other people don't have. 

· What was one difficulty about capturing a unique qualities partner's portrait?

A difficulty about capturing something unique about a person is that people just do it spontaneously, when you are trying to show something that the person does spontaneously, it is hard, because trying to get the exact “feeling” of that unique quality is hard.

· In what way were you successful in capturing your partner's portrait?

I think that I was successful with the picture of my partner, because I followed my plan, of all the pictures we took, that was the one that we liked the most, because it was the one that showed one of her real qualities, because she is sweet, and in the picture she is hugging a Teddy Bear, and that is sweet.

· Describe the subject of your portrait. What is he or she doing? Include information about the setting.

The subject of my portrait is my friend Camila, and she is hugging a teddy bear, trying to show how sweet she is. The setting of the picture was at school, in the green area of the canteen. On the background there are some trees, and there is a building that is the computer lab.

· Describe the lighting of your portrait. Is the lighting natural or artificial? From what direction is the light coming?

The lighting of my portrait is natural daylight, it is noticeable, because we were out in a yard, and we weren’t inside a building. The light of the picture, is giving light to the right side of her face, so that means that the direction that the light is coming, is the East.

· Describe the composition of your portrait. Did you use the rule of thirds? Explain how your composition helps make your portrait more interesting.

When I took the picture, I was not using the rule of thirds, I thought that this picture was going to be nice if it didn’t have the rule of thirds in it, because I liked the few trees in the background, and that there is also little background because when I took the picture I zoomed in, so the picture only took a little bit of background, and a lot of her face.

· What would you do differently if you could do this project again?

I think that what I would do differently, would be to take the pictures in the morning, because there is not so much sun light, so the picture would not have so many shadows in her face. I also would like to change the quality I was describing, because she wanted to have a picture that described her as a girly girl, we had taken that picture, but as i didn't have on my sketches we couldn't do it. Other things I would like to change, is the background, because if it was a background that had more things, that just trees, it would look better.
