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. 
2. Environmental Portrait: I like these two photos because they show these people's environment.




Self-Portrait: I like these two self portraits because they a follow the rules of a self portrait. 


Casual Portrait: I like these two casual portraits because they are just casual.
 

I plan on taking some single person self portraits and making some black and white, or have the person in front of a black background. I also plan to have a group of people and have some in black and white and in front of a black background. 


Love and Lost

1. I felt sad because it showed a story of how his wife had cancer and what she had to go through.
2. I think that comment means those pictures are serious and they have to go through it.
3. Yes, but it would be hard for me if I was in the husbands position to see my wife go through these tough times.
4. I would say, i'm sorry for what she is going through and that I will pray for her.

A: I think the strongest photo out of the slideshow is the picture of the soldier walking to the plane with his bag because I think he is about to go into a mission. 
B: The photos were taken in the Army Barber Shop, Army Base, Army Training, Army Mission, and the Army Airport.
C: I think the most powerful set of pictures are the pictures while he was at war. 
D: All of these pictures tell the story of his Army experience.
E: The verbs are in Past Tense.
F:  The captions enhance the photos by painting an image before the reader even reads the story.

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.
