Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

1. Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That is the point. 

2. Use a mirror. How to use mirrors is important, too. Take it down from a wall and experiment with it. 

3. If you’ve got a remote trigger, that’s usually  better and more controllable than trying to use a self-timer.

 I liked this picture because they are a cute couple, just looking into each others eyes and they look happy. I like that the photo was taken at where its just focusing on them two.

 

I chose this photograph because it looked so unique, like the angle from where it's taken from is something you don't usually see in most common pictures. I like the couch-looking-chair because it's red and it looks fancy (:

This picture caught my attention because I like her hair and the position she's taking. I chose it because it seems cool, just showing one eye.

Now, this picture I like because I love high heels. I have some that almost look like this, quite different though. I chose it because of the different angles of the heels; it's really eye-catching.

I like this picture because its in a pretty casual pose, like its not all fancy or photoshoped or anything, but it still looks cute. The couple looks happy and it gave me that "aww" feeling, so I chose it. (:

This picture caught my attention because it reminded me of my little sister. I don't know, but sometimes I like little kids, when they look all cute and innocent like this. 

I'm going to try to take pictures of some people I don't know, some that I do. No one in specific. But sometimes random people don't want their picture taken because they don't know you : /

I plan on taking the pictures at different angles, from a viewpoint, directly at the face or a side view. I don't actually have something in mind, it'll just happen. Hope it comes out good!
