Portraiture

Portraiture is when you make a portrait.
Posed photography is when the models stand a certain way and make a pose.
Candid photography is when the model is in motion or not prepared for the photo.

Is the photo posed or candid and how can you tell?  
Posed because the model is prepared for the picture and she is striking a pose.
What is the person wearing?  
Flowers in her hair, but as far as I can see, no clothes.
Is he/she sitting, standing, laying, etc?  On what/where?
Stranding in front of a gray backdrop.
What is in the background?  
Nothing is in the background.
Was shallow or deep depth of field used?
There is some shallowness because the hair on her left shoulder is blurry.
What kind of lighting was used (back lighting/silhouette, spotlight/hard light, sunlight/natural light, etc.)?  
A spotlight was used.
What other photography techniques did the photographer embrace to make this shot successful (contrast, framing, alternative angles, rule of thirds, etc)? 
The photographer used framing by putting her right in the middle. She is also in the middle third.

Choose one

I chose the AutoDraw one because I would really like to be able to draw, but I can't so it is cool to see my horrible drawings turn into good ones.

One challenge was keeping my lines straight and adding enough detail so it could tell what I was drawing. I just tried harder to steady my arm and I added more spots and gills.

My favorite part was when it suggested really weird things like a weird front facing dinosaur for my giraffe.

I wish my drawings were better, but it was able to tell what they were so I think they were good enough.

What did you use to to warp or reflect it?  I used binoculars.

My focal point is a tree.

I used binoculars to warp the image.

My focal point is a whale shark stuffed animal.

I reflected the image by placing a mirror on the floor and putting the shark on it. I then hung a blue curtain up behind it so it looked like it was in water.

My focal point is my book. 

I used a mirror on the floor to reflect my image.

Conor is my focal point.

I used a reflective sheet to warp my image.

This squirrel is very small, but the photo makes it look big.
The blurred background doesn't show how tall the moss is so it makes the squirrel look even bigger.
The focus on the squirrel makes the image very clear and the details seem larger.
The depth of field makes the subject clearer and allows depth to be illustrated.
The lighting makes it even clearer and allows the camera to focus on the subject.

The subject is actually small, but the way I took the picture made it look large.

-background There really isn't a background so that the focus is mainly on the iris and nothing else.
-focus The details in the iris are clearly shown from the camera being able to focus on the iris itself.
-depth of field the reflection of the eye gives the illusion of the roundness of the eyeball and shows the depth of it.
-lighting I used natural lighting to prevent the harsh light from obscuring the details of the eye.
