Portraits and self-portraits-start looking

Truman Capote, 1947


The first photograph caught my eye because it was just half of the girl's face and her eye, hair, and guitar stand out. What makes this picture a good photograph is that it's balanced; the guitar on the left side, her hair on the right. And they're like the same color. The second photograph got my attention by the loneliness shown here with this man sitting on a bench by some leaves or whatever that is behind him. For my next photographs I want to do them in portraits of someone else because to me, I feel like I can take more control of the background and everything else that might come out wrong.
