How do your portraits tell the story of your friend and your chosen theme or concept? Refer to specific artistic choices you made as a portrait photographer. Analyze the specific features of the portrait photograph (aperture/f-stop/focus, camera angle, rule of thirds, head angle, lighting) and explain their effects on the viewer.

In my photoshoot, I will focus on my friend, Arman Sharif.

# data[].attributes.body
Arman is an athletic person and loves playing sports. In playing sports, he has strengthened his confidence in himself. In my portraits, I want to show this confidence of Arman by dramatizing his boldness. I want Arman to look as if he feels so confident that he owns everything.

I want to address my series of portraits to my friends, who have always seen Arman as a shyer person. I would like my friends to see Arman in a new light, as confident and bold.

This picture highlights the subject's feeling of seniority and confidence as he is lying down on a big patch of grass and taking up as much space as he wants while not caring what others think. The lighting is darker to show the seriousness of the subject. The camera angle is higher to give perspective and show more of the environment that surrounds the subject. Overall, the features of the photo make the subject seem like he is the owner of the large space of grass around him, further emphasizing his new-found confidence.

This image shows a questioning but confident subject. The eye-level camera shot creates a connection between the subject and the audience, however, in this image the eye-level shot along with the expression of the subject makes the audience feel judged. The chaotic background contrasts the subject's calmness. Overall, the features of the picture show a confident subject who seems to think higher of himself than anyone else.

Showing the subject pointing to a clear sky facing away from the camera, this image shows the background story of the subject. The camera is lower and pointing up making the subject bigger and seem more confident. The darker lighting creates these highly contrasting shadows that represent the journey that the subject had to go through to be at this point.

This is my final and favorite picture. The pose combined with the features makes the subject seem "on top of the world". The camera angle low down combines with the enlarging pose to make the subject seem big and intimidating. The F-stop is higher helping the audience see the background which are the lunch tables. Overall, this picture makes Arman seem as if he doesn't care about the rules, or stepping on the tables.
