Portraits and Self Portraits

1. I think the 3 best portrait taking tips are Play with Eye Contact, Mirroring something, Break the Rules of Composition.

Blog #3

Favorite:

"This Bill Murray portrait by Martin Schoeller was a play off of Bill's current project, "St. Vincent." Makeshift veils, red gowns and getting Bill to pray really played well to his personality and the movie that was coming out later that month." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2015-winners-finalists#sthash.IBb1xvlR.dpuf 
I think this picture fits Bill Murray well because he is funny and in this picture he is acting funny. I also like the lighting in this as well. One thing the photographer could've done better is to have him in a white shirt to contrast better with the black head dress.

3. Seagaia Ocean Dome, Pink Lake Australia, Jetsetta, Alta Igloo Hotel, Lovers Tunnel.

4. Seagaia: 

It would be fun to document this location because it seems like a fun place with lots of action. I would try to get pictures with water frozen in the air with someone splashing around in the water. 

Pink Lake Australia: 

It would be fun to document this location because it would be cool seeing a natural pink lake and take pictures of it. I would like to take pictures of the sun with the pink lake and pictures of the water splashing. 

Jethouse: 

It would be fun to document this location because this person transformed this wrecked jet into a house. I would take pictures of the jet with a sunset/sunrise in the background or a picture inside of the house.

Alta Igloo Hotel: 

It would be fun to document this location because it is a hotel made of ice. Yes it would be cold, but it would also be cool. I would take pictures of big rooms with dim light, or small rooms with dim light because it would be cool how the light would reflect off of the ice. 

Lovers Tunnel: 

It would be fun to document this location because the trees have grown to enclose this path. I would take pictures of the sun coming through the tree leaves or people walking down the path.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. Some challenges that I encountered while shooting were focusing on the subject.
2. I was thinking the most about leading lines and Rule of Thirds. I think that I used the stair railing as good leading lines and I tried to put the girl at the bottom of the stairs in the Rule of Thirds.
3. If I could shoot again, I think that I would focus the picture better. 
4. Some things that I would keep doing is using the stair railing as leading lines.
5. I think that Rule of Thirds will be the easiest to achieve because I myself can move around to make the subject become Rule of Thirds.
6. I think the hardest rule to achieve would be framing just because it always turns out that the prompt calls for something that is tough to frame.

The Story, Action and Emotion, Filling the Frame

"The Story"
I think the photo with the best story is the photo with the 2 girls and the substance in mid air. (a.k.a. first place) I think the story is they dropped something in to the glass causing it to explode.

"Action and Emotion"

I think the best picture that shows emotion or action is the picture with the circle of people around the pole. When I see this picture I think that they are praying. 

"Filling The Frame" 

I think that the picture with the kids putting their hands in the middle of the table shows filling the frame because the kids are all around the picture.
