Portraiture and Studio Photography: Activity 1

Look through assorted media, magazines, internet and collect four portrait photographs. The environment should be a key feature in two of the four images.Describe the subject’s character in each of the images. What can you see within each image that leads you to these conclusions about the subjects’ character.

Grecco

For me this image screams "I DONT CARE" this man could be homeless, or weird it doesn't matter. All that matters is that this man is wearing next to nothing in public and could not possibly care less about what anyone else says.

This person is obviously homeless and in a bad place. Setting that aside, he seems like all he cares about is that dog. He could be bitter or mad but he loves and cares for something other than himself even when times are tough. That is a strong person and i admire it.

sinopix

After something as terrible as a tsunami hits your home town it takes a great person to still get dressed up and go to work. HE knows that sitting around and waiting for change wont happen so he took it upon himself to keep his world going.

Pannecouke

If you live in a third world country there are not as many luxuries as we have. This man knows of a guitar so he made one up himself. It is all about imagination and making the best out of a bad situation so that you live a peaceful life
