Portraits Defined

Portrait is a picture of someone or something that tells a story without using words. The story would be told through action, lighting, and framing.
by Tai-Shan Schierenberg

This is a story of a guy who has two sides to him, one that everyone knows and the other no one has ever seen before. Anybody that's friends with this guy know him as a happy, energetic, outgoing, loving person; but they don't know what he's been hiding. He has secrets, like most of us do, that he tells no one. His secret would be that he isn't really happy or energetic anymore he's more tired, sad, lonely, and so much more. His two sides mix together to manipulate everyone around him into thinking that he's okay and fine but he's not. And only time will tell if he ever opens up to someone the way he should.

ISO

ISO is how sensitive the image sensor is to light. The higher the ISO is the more sensitive it is to light and the lower the ISO is the less sensitive it is to light. While taking a picture with higher ISO the picture will turn out more grainy than one with lower ISO.

Portrait Song

                                                                         Numb-Linkin Park
     V1: Tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless lost under the surface.Don't know what 
You're expecting of me. Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes. Every step that I take is another
Mistake to you.
   Chorus: I've become so numb I can't feel you there. Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming 
This all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you.
   V2: Can't you see that you're smothering me? Holding to tightly afraid to lose control cause everything you
Thought I would be is falling apart right in front of you. Every step that I take is another mistake to you and
Every second I waste is more than I can take. 
   Chorus: I've become so numb I can't feel you there. Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming This all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you.
   Bridge: And I know I may end up failing to but I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in You.
  Chorus: I've become so numb I can't feel you there. Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming This all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you. I've become so numb I can't feel you there. Tired of being what you want me to be.

My two favorite photos

By Toni Frissell.
Toni Frissell was a photographer that took pictures in 1941of World War two she was the daughter of Lewis Fox Frissell and Antoinette Wood Montgomery. She was born in 1917 and died in 1988.
Her picture shows symmetrical balance because you can split it down the middle and it would be equal on both sides. I chose this photo because it was an interesting photo that caught my eye, it kind of tells a story. The way the face is touching the water but the rest of her body is underneath the water slowly sinking is interesting to me it makes me wonder if she's dying or not. I'm not sure where this photograph was taken but it seemed to be taken at a lake of some sort. I wouldn't actually make any changes to the photograph I like it the way it is.

This photo is by Gabriele Caretti
This photo shows asymmetrical balance because if you were to split it down the middle it wouldn't be equal on both sides. I chose this photo because it doesn't show the whole Eiffel Tower and its from worms eye point of view so it looks like its stretching and I like how the moon is placed in there. This photo was most likely taken in Paris. I wouldn't really make any changes to the photo.
