Formal portraits today!! It's a lot a different than environmental portraits because you don't have the background to work with, and you really have to get the settings right to make sure you're showing your subject in the best way possible. Without the background, all the focus is on the subject and that makes just a tad harder to get an image that both you and your subject are happy with. Once you get going however, everybody loosens up and starts to enjoy it. They start to mess with different angles and positions and poses, it becomes something fun for everybody.
Today was a lot of fun! There was more time to take pictures and explore the areas around our school without set assignments to try and complete so I was surprised at the pictures I was able to take(:
Today was portrait day!! At first it was a little awkward, no one was sure where to start, where to stand, or who to take pictures of but after a few shots, everyone loosened up and didn't mind so much that there were pictures being taken of them. We walked all around, making jokes and snapping our photos of each other.
