Project 3 Portraiture

About Portrait

I like taking pictures for my friends, I always want to record their facial expressions, especially smiles. Before doing this project, as a Portrait Photographer, I only focus on their face because I think that is the most obvious part to show the feelings they have at that moment. But in this project, as most of the people are too shy to show off their face, I changed my focusing to the body. I realized body is also an important part to express the emotions. Moreover, the aims of taking portrait have not to be necessary record the feelings, but also capture the beauty of human body. Thus, in this project, I have focused on the photo structure cooperating with human body, trying to blend the environment and human body naturally. A portrait hasn’t to be shoot in the studio officially, it could happen everywhere.
