Self Portrait and portrait Intro

Canids with consent can create intimacy in a photo Types of Portraits Environmental portraits I chose this photo because I like the vignette effect, and how that draws attention to the subject. This picture is well executed, and the focus on the woman and her dog are very sharp. I chose this photo because I like how it's black and white. I think photographing people in black and white makes the image more dramatic, which I appreciate. Self-portraits I chose this photo because I think it is very creative and an out of the box idea. I like how only half of the subjects face is illuminated, and the polaroids on his face add a neat touch. I chose this photo because her pose is very unique, elegant, and it's something I have never seen before. I like how soft the background is and the shadows made by her hands and forearms. Casual Portraits  I chose this photo because the way the subject is posed is ...
