5 More Websites

Model Posing

1.  This website gave tips on how to pose and make it look more natural.  It gave tips for fashion, commercial, and other types of modeling/posing as well.
2.  I learned what different types of posing, angles, and emotions work best for each type of photography.  For example, fashion modeling is all about angular and dramatic poses while commercial modeling is more happy and casual.
3.  This site related to photography because it was about posing, if your model can't pose, your photos won't turn out well.  Modeling and posing is a big part of photography.

Spiral Staircases














1.  I chose this photo because I liked the composition of it.  I love the way photos of spiral staircases like this look and I found this one particularly intriguing.  The way the photographer positioned the shot so it was just off center was different to most photos you see like this.
2.  Some rules of photography I see in this photo are simplicity and lines.  The lines of the staircase draw your eyes and simplicity because there is nothing in the photo's background to draw your attention away from the staircase itself.
3.  This photo was taken by German photographer Christian Richter.

The Oldest Living Things in the World

















1.  I chose this photo because I was immediately drawn to it when looking at the website.  I think it's a really interesting photo and I love how you have all this greenery and yet, all of the trees are dead. I also like how you don't see where the staircase leads as I think it adds an air of mystery to the photo.
2.  A rule of photography I see in this photo is lines, the stair case leads your eye up the hill.  Another rule of photography that is apparent in this photo is rule of thirds because the staircase is not in the center of the photo.
3.  This photo was taken by Rachel Sussman.

7 Tips to Shooting Great Portraits

1.  This website gave really great tips on how to shoot portrait photography.  Some of the tips included getting the model out of their comfort zone and have the model looking off camera for some shots.
2.  I learned that having negative space in your images is really good and makes the image more natural.  I also learned that it's totally OK to break the rules of photography every once in a while.
3.  This site gave a lot of helpful tips on portrait photography and how to shoot it well.  It showed me a lot of things about portrait photography that I didn't know and how to shoot portraits better.

10 Photography Resolutions for the New Year

1.  This website gave some examples of "resolutions" of sorts for photography.  The author of this blog listed 10 things to try and achieve photography-wise in the new year, including to shoot more personal photos/projects.
2.  This website didn't teach me so much as give me ideas on things to try and accomplish this year to make myself a better photographer.  Some of the resolutions listed on the site were to get along with other photographers, don't let your gear impede your development, and to print more photos.  Personally, I think these resolutions are great and I'm going to try and do at least some of them.
3.  This website was all about photography resolutions for the new year.  Things to think about and work on as a photographer.
