sup. We had an assignment to create portrait photos. My mums a photographer so… yeah. I felt like I should mention that.

Our first part of the assignment was to take a self portrait. I recently got a Christmas tree so I decided to play around with the lights on it. Here’s how it turned out:

I’m not mad at it. I got the tree bristles in the shot and I actually kind of like it. I set a timer at the base of the tree then tried not to look like a rat while, “posing”.

The next part was to make a portrait. This one had the criteria to be creative and use filters.

I found this huge leaf and made Dylan, my brother, stand in front of the sun. We took this photo in the forest near my house.

Next, we had to create a silhouette. I was extremily privileged to work with my friend and classmate, Holly. 

She is so pretty, so it made taking an awesome photo super easy. Here it is:

I think it looks pretty good! I like the writing on the window and the branches in the background. I love the sun peeking through it reminds me of a spider… but with less legs.

Now, for the last part, we had to re-create a portrait from the past. This was the best part. I got my whole family involved and here was the final product.

The first one I did:

This is the other one I did:

I hope you like them! I took lots of photos and these were my favourites. I took lots of time to reflect on this assignment. I think I learned a lot about how to take quality photos.

I enjoyed this assignment and I hope you enjoyed my work. Make sure to check back soon for more posts and I hope your day goes well!
