Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people (a group portrait), in which the face and expression is focal point of the photo. The objective is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject.

Here are a few of my portrait photos, even though two are of a animal to me it still counts as portrait, as its all about capturing the emotion with in the photo.

MACRO Photography

Macro Photography is close-up photography, usually of very small subjects. classically a macro photograph is one in which the subject on the negative is bigger than in life size. However in modern use it refers to a finished photograph of a subject as greater than life size.

Comparing macro with landscape, the main difference between them is that the aim of landscape is to show the bigger picture and to show lots of things. where as macro its of one main thing and showing all the detail of that.

The Use Of Lines In Images - Diagonal Lines

Here are some photos that in my opinion follow diagonal lines, whether obvious or not.

Here are ones taken out of college - here as you can see the diagonal line is the photo frame, and from the frame it leads you too the person in the center of the frame. the focal point of this picture is the girls eye in both of these photos.

Here are ones taken in college -

here the diagonal line didn't work  as well as i hoped, the diagonal line is not as obvious as i wanted it to be.

Here the diagonal lines worked really well, seeing as a corridor is naturally a diagonal line leading some where as well as the stair case.

The Rule Of Third

Rule of third:
You should imagine and O's and X's grid on top of your picture.
if you place the interesting points of your shot at the points where the lines cross or on the lines them selves, your photo becomes more balanced and interesting.


these both go to the rules of third.
