Portrait Photography
Portrait photography or also known as portraiture is photography of a person or maybe a group of people that shows ones expressions. Like many types of portrait photography, the main point of focus is the persons face but modern portraits can include the entire body and even include background context.
Sandi hodkinson PHOTOGRAPHY
Sandi Hodkinson is my favorite portraiture because in one photo she captures so many happy emotions and makes me feel warm inside, I assume she uses Photoshop to edit and develop the eyes in her photos they look amazing.
I like this piece because the lighting is very bright and focused, I also like the way the colour has from the babies eyes really stand out.
I think the meaning of this piece is to capture the emotions of children because I can see how cute and playful they look.
When I look at this piece I feel warm inside because it shows all the emotions in the baby’s faces and their innocent looks.
This is an effective image because they have used the camera settings effectively. They have used a small depth of to gain focus on their faces and blur out of the background white, balance has also been used so the picture does not look yellow where as if Scott was to use auto white balance the picture would have been yellow.
I like the composition of the piece because they have taken the picture from a mid-body shot from the mid-section upwards

Photos i have taken at home working in the style of sandi hopkinson.
face Plan 1
My shoot plan will include:
- Location: I will be taking photos all around school
- Props: I may be using Photoshop to edit the image and make it better

Hilton NATURAL ENVIRONMENT plan 20
editing process
Worst
This is my worst picture because the exposure was to high, therefore too much light was let in causing Hilton to look out of focus and
BEST
This is my best picture because his facial expression matches the title on the book he looks mysterious.
fashion plan 3
My shoot plan will include:
- Location: I will be taking photos inside/outside classrooms
- Props:The camera i will be using is called a SLR, depending how the images are taken , I will use Photoshop to edit my images.
- people/Assistants: Hilton
- Topic: Professional Hair Shoot: I will use a comb to restyle Hilton's hair creating different hair styles, I want Hilton stood against a white background and use a fan to create a windy effect.
Worst
This is my worst picture because my model Hilton has blinked at at the wrong time, therefor causing the image to look odd, I also don't like this picture because Hilton looks yellow this is because of the white balance and the focus point not correctly set so this causes the image looked a bit blurred.
BEST
I edited this picture to the style of Ansel Adams i stumbled upon this photographer when i was looking at black and white images.

The theme was portrait photography, the artists that I researched were Scott Kelby and sandy Hopkinson, my pictures link with my artists because the one on the left is black and white and the muddle on is also black and white with a bit color in. The image on the left I used the portrait setting on my camera and same with the rest, using this tool made it easier because it put the persons face into focus.
