Experimentation Self Portrait

THEME: IDENTITY

I HAD A LITTLE EXPERIMENT ON ME THANKS TO MY MUM WHO TOOK THE PHOTO OF ME.

• AS YOU CAN SEE IN THESE TWO PHOTO'S THEY WERE BOTH TAKEN AS A LANDSCAPE AND A PORTRAIT.
• THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON A SUNDAY BEFORE AND AFTER I WENT TO CHURCH
• WHAT I AM WEARING IS A JACKET THAT HAS THE LOGO OF MY AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM WHICH I HAD RECEIVED FROM OUR PRIZE GIVING JUST RECENTLY.
• THAT IS THE TWO THINGS THAT KIND OF REPRESENTS ME WHICH IS AMERICAN FOOTBALL (NFL, GRID IRON).

WHAT WORKED?

What worked was that the picture looked great and that the composition is perfect, the aperture and shutter was fine, and the model did not move.

WHAT DID NOT WORK?

What didn't work is that the person who took the photo did not put the mode on Manual but she changed it to Automatic. I think that is the reason why the photo looks perfect. However in the second photo it seems like the photo is out of focus and its blurry. Another thing that didn't work is that i did not have a clear background as you can see in the first photo the bed, the door and the black board was in the way so it was impossible for me to have a clear background. On the 2nd photo it was out of focus on the top bit or my face and on the bottom or from my shoulder all the way down to my feet were in focus. another thing was that it was in a diagonal position so the person who took the photo did not hold the camera properly. 

WHAT TO IMPROVE NEXT TIME?

Next time when i have the opportunity i will get a volunteer from the class to help me by taking a photo of me in class and i will also try to book the studio so i can take the photo there. Also i will try and get a better camera so that the photo of me will be in focus because the camera i have now is not very good.
