Portrait photograthy
Portrait Photography is of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject.
To make a good portrait you need to capture the emotion of the person and make the viewer wonder what their story is.

Environmental Photography
Portraits taken of people in a situation that they live in (work, rest or play) and/or a place that says something about who they are.
In this picture you should see the whole background is dark and the person is listening to music with headphones and stiing on the steps. In the picture the man is sitting down, looking st the camera, the left side is a bit light and the right is dark , the focal point is everywhere and i think the artist used shutterspeed.

In thses pictures you should see different people in different environments, doing different things and each one has a different mood or style.

Candid Photography
Captures the person going about everyday activities, subject doesn't even know you are there at times.
In this picture the whole background is black and white. you can do this by changing your camera filter to monochrome on a camera. The whole picture is abit blurred but I think this because of teh size of the file. It is a forward close up shoot. The person is smiling and looking happy. I will use this idea to try to capture emotions in my work.
Steve McCurry
This photo is a famous picture taken by Steve McCurry. It won him a lot of awards when he visited a village to take the picture. It is nice and clear and a close up on her face. The picture has a good depth of field, The face is in focus and the background is blurred. The photo is well taken. She is wearing a red scarf and is looking rather scared and traumatized. Also she is a refugee. The picture is bright and she does not look subtle.

Editing my image to make it better
Step 1 : Choose the LASSO tool and line it around the BACKGROUND EXCEPT for the body
Step 2 : left click on the filter BUTTON which is placed on top and click FILTER gallerey
Step 3 : Choose the stained glass FILTER and apply it
I made this edit in Photoshop. I have used a magazine filter on myself and used stained glass as the background. To do this , I used a magnetic lasso tool to line where I want the filter to be and then I choose my filter

Evaluation
The theme behind my portrait photography was to capture the emotions of a person. the shoots i used have normal filters and black and white. The artist i studied are lee Jeffries and Steve McCurry. Steve McCurry was the best one for his work on afghan girl. My black and white shoot links to this because the actor that i took pictures of was a close of like the same project as afghan girl. There is no deph of field in any pitures i took, i took only normal pictures.
