101 Portrait Photography Tips

In my research for improving the process of taking a portrait i learned that when taking a photography of younger kids and babies you should use a faster shutter speed because they tend to move a lot more and cant manage to stay still. i also learned that to get a more natural look in doors, next to a window is the best place to take a picture. When taking a portrait it is also important to pay attention to the background and the surroundings of the person who is going to be photographed. The color of clothes in which the person is also something to pay attention to. If the person is wearing bright colors it is more likely to stand out then if someone who is just wearing dark colors. The colors they are wearing may also reflect on they background you may want to chose. 

Artistic review

        Bryan Farley is a photographer, a husband and a father. He captures a variety of 

photo's, but focuses a portion of it on children and families. Farley searches for the invisible 

and the visible when capturing his photo's 

        Farley is a great photographer. His pictures shows he is passionate about what he does. 

His pictures reveal that he enjoys capturing pictures of children and their families. Photo blog 

provides a variety of the pictures he was captured. On his cover Home page he provides his

 viewers with four nicely captured and focused photo's. In his first picture he provides a photo 

of a young lady getting her make up done for a special occasion. In the next photo we can see 

two children and focuses the photo on them. 

Cropping Rule Of Composition

Before 

                                                                              After

in the picture i have captured, the cropping illustrates the Rule Of Thirds rule of composition,  because if you divide the picture into two horizontal lines  and two vertical lines the most important part of the picture is along those lines.    

Cropping For Better Composition

This cropping illustrates the space rule of composition, because along the top of the bridge you can see space in the sky and along the bottom of the bridge you can see space along the water. 

Composition Element of Space

In the following picture you can see the Composition element of SPACE along the background of the following three pictures we have captured.

3TI Camera Review

       The Canon EOS Rebel T3i delivers excellent video capabilities and image and video quality. The cannon T3i s a great choice for dSLR videographers. Its image quality and general shooting performance are highly effective. The T3i is quick when it comes to shooting. Although, when it comes to capturing movement the canon T3i may not always be able to keep up.  
      The T3i the excellent image quality and is easy you use. Two great combinations together. Its a quick start up camera and its a great battery saver. Which will last you more than others. It has an easy to deal with control/menu button. Best of all its portable. which allows you to carry it with you with much cautious. 
       When it comes to video shooting the videos look very clearly when there in focus. But unfortunately on the movie mode is almost as bad as the movie mode. The videos are much more sharp than the T3's.it is difficult for the camera to capture close or midrange subjects. in order to you must have to adjust the manuel focus to get a good shot. The camera is quick to switch between exposure setting to adjust the lighting.

Assignment #1- Observing Light

       As i walked toward the skylight down the hall i began to see more light on me and my classmates as i approached it. When my classmate stood under the skylight i noticed the shadows under their chins and on the floor. When moving away from the skylight there was no longer any shadows.
