so this is my portrait. it is of my little sister. This was taken at the desert. What i really like about this picture is her eyes the way she is looking at the camera. The lighting in the back which is natural lighting brings out her face more and also there is a shadow on her neck i like this too. 

The project we had to do was a group project, we had to get a lest three a odd number of different things. like for example one could be a artist and another a dancer or a someone who knows how to you a instrument and also you could you use a actor. In our group we picked a artist and a dancer and also a person who played an instrument we used  the senior circle because not used a lot in pictures so we wanted to use a place that is not seen a lot. Also for the lighting we got to use strobe it was my first time using it so at first i didn't know what to do. But Mrs. Miles helped us out by telling us what is connected to what because we didn't know how the cords went to. And so the experience of using strobe was frustrating  at first because we didn't know what to do but in the end it all worked out and we did all right.

Whats the difference between a snap shot and a  portrait?

the difference is that a portrait you have to get the persons interior what they really are on the inside you have to be close to them. somehow be able to show in a shot the persons personality. also a snap shot is a shot just taken randomly with your buddies just have fun. A portrait when you take a portrait of somebody you want to make them feel comfortable so when you take the picture you can see their personality through the lenses and in the picture you take of them.
