Self Portraits and Portraits review


Tip #3: Use Both Auto and Manual Focus

A good practice to get into when you're taking self-portraits is to use a mix of auto and manual focus. First, focus on your stand-in object using auto focus. Then, with the object still in focus, switch your lens to manual focus.

Tip #5: Capture You

My last tip is to use the images below only loosely as inspiration. A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality. And most of all, have fun!
Environmental Portraits 
Simplicity and unique perspective and she is submerging from under the water and its in black and white.

Unique perspective, simplicity, contrast and its a beautiful taken shot and how she's laying on the sand where the beach washes up.

Casual Portrait

I like it because its rule of thirds and I'm a die hard cowboys fan

Rule of thirds, balance and once again jimmy johnson wearing a dallas cowboys t shirt.

Formal Portraits

Im a fan of einstein and the impact he has made on this world

I love tigers and I'm fascinated that they an apex predator.

Self Portrait Photography

Its a very unique perspective and a balanced photo. I like it because she's in the water and someone is taking a pic of her.

Unique perspective, contrast, and rule of thirds and once again its a very odd picture but a very good one to.
