Portrait

I chose to shoot the portrait project of my friend, Maggie.  I loved her hair and she practically looks like a model so I figured that she would be the perfect person.  Not knowing how to capture portrait pictures, I played around with different angles, backgrounds and having Maggie look at the camera and not look at the camera.  My goal was to have an assortment of pictures and hopefully some of them would turn out.  The most successful photo was the second one for many reasons.  One it was printed perfectly with just enough contrast and also the photo itself was beautiful.  I liked how Maggie wasn't looking at the camera but still looked like she was getting a picture taken of her.  The tree in the background is also a nice setting for the photo, making this picture my favorite of the five.  My least favorite was third one because it was printed very well (wasn't dark enough) and the top of Maggie's head was cut off a little bit.  It was not framed very well and cropping wouldn't have helped that much.  This was my favorite project of the year and I thought it went pretty well.
