My self portraits show my different reactions to certain situations and the different emotions/feelings that I have.

This is my little sister, Anna. We sat down one night and just started talking, so I decided that I should get my camera and take some pictures of her. I chose to photograph her because she always has the best facial expressions, and is interesting to talk to. She never takes herself too seriously, so I knew that I would get honest facial expressions from her, and she wouldn't just be trying to look cute and pose all the time. I love these pictures of her because they show her different emotions, and they are sincere and genuine reflections of her personality

 

 

 




This is my mom, Cathy. We sat down in her room to take some pictures in her room. but ended up having a really interesting conversation, and I ended up forgetting to take the pictures until the very end of our talk that night. I chose to take pictures of her because I honestly think that she is one of the most beautiful people in the world, and I love spending time with her. So the facet that my photography assignment was to have a conversation with someone and take pictures of them was perfect for me to do with her.

I think that I took some very good macro photos; however, I think that I could have done a better job focusing the camera before I took the picture. I took these photos at my house or at the school, in the parking lot. I like the pictures that have water on them, but I didn't do a very good job of focusing on the water drops.
