Portrait assignment worksheet questions
1. Depending on how I held my camera, I could get pretty close without being noticed. The girl on the bus didn't notice, I don't think, mostly because I had my camera in my lap. Although the picture I posted, I'm pretty sure she was looking at me. All of the other people I took while looking through my viewfinder, and almost every one of my subjects noticed me at one point. The boy with the tilted head definitely saw me but didn't seem to care, and kept swaggering down the street, and the man in the checkered shirt saw me earlier down the street, but ignored me.
3. I actually didn't ask anyone to move, but keep going about their business. I usually chose one part of their body to focus on, but that's more of a personal choice, just because I like focusing on detail. My subject usually filled up the frame, or I had a little bit of background, but I tried to get as much detail as possible, to convey what they were doing.
5. When people look away from the camera, I think it gives it a more introverted feeling. Like avoiding contact. The eyes can say a lot about a person, and when you can't see them, or they're not clear, it can be hard to understand what they're thinking about, or feeling.
