Assignment: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Don't be bashful! If you want comments, give comments. You don't need to be an expert photographer to express your opinion about the work of others. You don't need to go into great depth. A simple remark about cropping, composition, color, subject matter, etc. can be of just as much help to a budding photographer as an in-depth critique.
You should understand that who you are and what has inspired you shine through in the portraits you create. After reading this chapter, you have perhaps given some thought to what influences you, what your tastes are, and what your passions are. Now that you are more aware, create a children’s portrait that reflects some of who you are and your style. This can be shown by your choice of colors and tones, by clothing, background environment, or general attitude. Use your imagination and try to come up with something really unique, something that separates you from the crowd.
This photograph of Nate was taken at his family home. The photographer ran around with him and his sister for the better part of an afternoon photographing them in their natural habitat. When the photographer spied the lineup of dinos on the windowsill, she asked the boy if he would like a photo with his “friends.” As she lifted her camera, the photographer noticed part of Nate’s dad in the reflection in the window behind the boy, which gives the image added depth and meaning.1/640 second at f/2.8, ISO 400.
