PortraitsUsing your digital camera, take close up shots of someone's face in black and white or colour. Try to capture the personality and character of the person. It does not need to be a pretty picture, but rather show some soul.

Portraits Project Reflection
The idea of portraits made me think about taking pictures of peoples faces and their story. My project idea was about people whoes faces tells a story and gives you an idea about what they have been through and what kind of person they are.
The difficulity about taking portarit shots is that you can't take them from a distance. You don't have to ask a flower if you can take a photo of it and you don't either have to ask an animal. people are diffrent. This was one huge problem to overcome. My idea was that i was just going to be able to take anyones photo, but it wasn't that easy. Many people didn't want me to take their picture, it was hard for me even just asking someone.
To take a portrait picture you have to get in very close to the subject to be able to see the facial features. This was even harder because not many people want a camera so close to their face and didn't want me to take such personal pictures. Another thing which was weird was that people wanted money from me to take pictures of them.
I went to Town to take these photos and Millnerton market (the Young baby) and i enjoyed this project.
