Portrait Project

I liked interacting with people for the portrait project because I really felt like my subjects' personalities were captured in the photographs. Since the project consisted of taking pictures of both people you know and people you do not, it was interesting to get to know the discomfort you could cause both types of people. In other portraits, people seemed more outgoing, and the control of the photographer was given more to the subject. I also experimented with the color vs. black and white photographs and came to the conclusion that the black and white photographs let viewers focus more on the expressions and emotion depicted in faces. I tried to create a suitable frame for each photograph to compliment the view of the subject. In all, the portrait project was interesting in that it allowed for creativity and differences in both known and unknown people.
