interesting portraits

    As I am getting close to the end of the semester, I am beginning to get a lot more challenging assignments. Through out my college experience I never thought i could have a class that would really take me out of my comfort zone.
    For this week we had a portrait assignment. According to the class course materials i have learned portraits are memories that involve people in a certain environment.
    A portrait picture can either be posed or candid. For a posed picture you need to let a person or a group of people pose, let them be natural and don't settle for one shot. While taking a candid portrait picture you need to be patient and wait for an interesting moment.
 
In this assignment i was also required to shoot head shots, I learned while shooting head  shots i was supposed to avoid destructing backgrounds, subject should be at an angle,  and to be very careful with the amount of light.

      In this assignment I chose to cover my beet which is criminal justice. I thank Commander Gayle Lohrbach and Commander Mike Wiederman  for helping me be comfortable and take pictures of his class, though sometimes it felt awkward because no one smiled. I had great experience though very challenging, and i will be happy to do this assignment if i am required.
