Portrait Photos

This week, I took photos of my cousin at my aunt's house. I learned that you have to take a lot of photos for them to get comfortable around the camera. Something that went well was after a while, he stopped noticing the camera and acted natural. I think a strength is the angle and level I took the photos at. A struggle for this assignment is that my cousin looked at the camera every time I would take a photo and try to make a face because that's what he normally does when someone takes his photo. To created a good composition, I tried to not make my cousin the center of the picture but the focal point. I enjoyed this assignment because it didn't take much time or creativity. It was frustrating at first because the camera was taking blurry shots and I had to play with the settings.
