portraiture : simerlatiteys and diffrences

when looking at a portrate there are sertan things you notice for exarmple whos in it, where are they, why are they there, what are they looking at and how the photographer has taken the picture . these qustions are what come in to your head when you se a portrate and each one is diffrent i have chosen a selection of picturs by diffrent photographers some listed others not each of these pictures intested in and make me think of diffrent things , the pictures made me feel diffrent emotitions but some that are not the same at all with meny diffrent feachers made me feel a simerler way .






















this portrait i was relly intrested in becouse i was curiouse on what the subjected is looking at ,her expretion dose not give away any sort of emotion .
the deph of field in this photo is the key becouse she has a crisp out line around her face which shows that it has picked her up but the back round is verry blurred the focas is on her head .
the photograper has chosen to have this portrait in black and wite this can sometimes give the affected that the picture is old but in this case it dose not it look moden and egey ,this is why i chose this portrate

this portrate invockes feelings of pureatey
 and innercence about her with her natrall skin and pink lips her face is the main focas of the picture and it is her cheack and eye and lips that stand out to the arudiance as her face almost melts in to the wite sheroundings .i belive the photographer wanted to play on the natural buotey n her face but only a pice of it so he cut the other pices out

anoth photograph havey on the eyes the dard colours are a indercater that this photo is to exspress a feeling or mood in this case i feel it is tence and focased the subjected in the photograph is look down at something makeing it look like he is concentrating this is verry difficult to photograph with the colours in his eyes i think this might have been edited and the skin toached up on photoshop to give it this clean look .

this portrate is diffrent to ment odf the others becouse when looking at this one you get a dark mood to it bacouse his eyes are nearly all blacked out this gives you the impretion thay he is in some blinding light this creates a verry intresting shadow

this is one of my favreat portraits i have chosen becouse it shows how the subjected doent always have to be the center of the attenttion in the phototgraph in this the deph of fild is really showing which parts to look at for exarmple the focase is on her hand and the sparkerler this makes the photograph more intrsting and what is happerning seem more importent
