Things Left Behind

These photos represent things left behind. In the first photograph it portrays a young girl grasping onto the door while saying goodbye to a friend. The second photograph captures a pair of eyeglasses left on the counter when they should be being used. The rosary was left behind by my grandmother to my mother who died when my mother was only two months old. The photographed dog is left behind every time the owner leaves the house and the dog is left alone. The room shows how the bed is left behind unmade and untidy.

Assignment 2

     Portrait photography is a type of photography where a person is the main subject. Although the subject may not be the only object in the photograph, they should be the attention-getter. Portraits are meant to show personality and emotion. For me, the best portraits are those that are not posed and are taken when the subject is relaxed and free of any anxieties. Portrait photography allows us to see a person in their true form and allows us to remember them in a specific way. Portraiture is an important type of photography that allows freedom of expression and is highly personal.
