Environmental (1) 

I liked this portrait because it highlights the man in his natural 'environment'. I also liked this portrait as it feels comfortable, and it does not seem like the man in the photo is posing. 

Environmental (2)

I liked this portrait because it shows a celebration taking place, and is truly taken in someone's natural habitat. 

Self-Portrait (1) 

I like this portrait because it is creative, and I picked it because it showcases new techniques. 

Self-Portrait (2)

I like this photo because it uses two mirrors, and also is creative and spunky. I also like how the photo is monochromatic. 

Casual Portrait (1)

I like this photo because of the use of natual light and the warm feeling it gives the photo, along with the posing and facial expressions. 

Casual Portrait (2) 

I like this photo also because of the natural lighting, but also like it because of the focus, and how the viewer can tell that there is a forest behind the model. 

Portrait Planning 

I will be taking a photo of my mom. I will shoot the photo at my house. Additionally, I will be making sure that I am thinking of photo composition to ensure the shoot is successful.
