1. Diffuse your light source. When selecting an environment, consider that a soft, diffused natural light from an indirect source is best for shooting portraits. Direct, harsh light or a full sun can cast unwanted dark shadows or create unnatural skin colors.

2. Focus on your subject’s eyes. If you’re not sure where to focus your lens, look to your model’s eyes. The human eye is visually interesting, and communicates more about mood than most other features.

3. Pay attention to height. Portraits taken from below the chin tend to be unflattering, while shots that are too high can diminish your subject.

4. Use setting to your advantage. While a studio can help you exert full control of your lighting, a more natural setting like an office or backyard can add personality to your portraits, as well as make your model feel more relaxed.

I would like to demonstrate loneliness and definitely a sole focus on myself in the picture. I would like the subject to be small relative to a large landscape to emphasize this self-isolation. Furthermore, the picture would be black and white to make the image almost scary and uncomfortable to look at. For example, it could be a wide picture of the field with me in the middle in black and white. Or it could also be a wide picture of me alone on the theater stage or a picture of me through a window. This could provide a dual meaning of not only the isolation but the feeling of being self-conscious and like everyone is always looking at me.

I would like to address a public of students my age. I would like them to relate to this image and feel like although you can feel lonely often, most people do, which could provide comfort!

I would like to use symbolism to highlight how my friend it the light in my life! She always makes a Monday feel like a Friday! She always listens and is there for me! Furthermore, I would like my subject to be wearing a blue tie to incorporate some mainstream humor from the phenomenon of TikTok Rizz Party.

I would like the target audience to be the whole of our 11th grade to see how awesome Jordan is. Being her friend is a true privilege not only me but the AIS community.
