Concentration

Inquiry Question

How can I show someone's true thoughts or emotions through portrait photography?

Reflection

For the past semester I had a concentration focused on portrait photos. All of these images pictured above have one common theme. They are all naturally taken, portrait photos of either a person or animal. I chose this as my central idea because I wanted to focus on true emotion in photography because its satisfying seeing people's true emotion in an image. These images demonstrate my ideas by having natural emotions. Like for example my puppy, he's a couch potato and that is his favorite spot to be in when I wake up and see him in the morning. Maybe even my primary color, TJ had a big smile on his face because we were all playing golf and he has a very strong passion for golf and he's at his happiest when on the golf course. I really like how my images came out and I know i chose the right idea when it came to my concentration.
