Portrait practise

-

 A while ago I took a portrait picture for my blog that gave a lot of ideas for the portrait images I will be taking in the picture.


On the 22nd of November on the afternoon I took some portraits near the Bristol Harbour

I followed tips like taking a lot of pictures with some distance and a good background. 

All the pictures were taken from an iPhone 11 Pro Max with the portrait mode on and natural lighting.




Afterwards I tried to take other posses to see what angle is better for my professional picture on my website.



Later on I changed the background in order to introduce some variety to my portrait practice.



For my last portrait pictures I used the gallery editor on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ and cropped the picture.

Furthermore, I added this picture which looks more professional on the "About me" page on my website




Reflection: This exercise helped understand how to capture a professional image and learned from the tips we discussed during class on how to take more professional images of people and also myself

    Good work on your portrait photos. A tip for your portrait photos is to leave less headroom above your head. This will make for a better composition with the focus on the subject and not the background. Please make sure you show the process of adding the portrait image to your about me page.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
