Week 8: Halloween Portrait Photography

Since Halloween was just a few days ago from our last lesson, we had to dress up in our Halloween costumes to take portraits. We left school to Bowen Road and took a few pictures there as well as in the school. I lent my camera to my classmates to take some pictures of me when I had to pose. We had to compile a shot list of things we should try to take pictures of; my shot list included: rule of thirds composition, framing, close-up, posing, contrast of colours and maybe perspective.

I like this image because of the composition and how she is staring at something far off. This fulfilled the close-up in my shot list.

I like this image because of the rule of thirds composition, the background and how the sword reflected light. This fulfilled the posing in my shot list.

I like this image because of the cool natural background at the back and how again the subject of the image is staring at something out in space. This fulfilled the rule of thirds composition in my shot list

I like this image because I framed her face unintentionally with diagonal handrails. This fulfilled the framing in my shot list.

I like the rule of thirds composition and how there is unintentional reflects of light around in the background.

I like this image because of the blurred background and how we cannot really see where she is looking at exactly.

This picture shows perspective but I don't really like the composition of the image because my arms are cut off and you can't really see what my arms are holding onto. This fulfilled the perspective in my shot list.
