April 2009 Photography Assignment - Portraits (human)

[Marko]

very nice start - 2 lovely portraits

[F8&Bthere]

is any photo of a human eligible as a portrait, or is this assignment mainly focusing on traditional style portraits?

Not at all ... the main requirement is that you take a new portrait for the assignment and not dig up an old one. The idea is that each month those participating actually go out and take something specifically for the assignment.

I don't think marko is even stipulating human at all but I think it is what he meant more than animals. Keep it tasteful and I think anything goes really.

Actually I was indeed thinking human portrait. Since no-one posted anything different yet, let's keep the portraits human please.
Many thanks!

This is me with my make up on....... oh wait..... this is not me...

[Chantelle]

Here's a portrait of a couple rather than just 1 person.

Nice shot Chantelle - love the backlight and bkgd effect (remember to focus on the eyes tho) and Travis.

Travis - is it just me or does the girl with the big eyes and earrings a bit orange?

Took this photo of my son with grandma & grandma while watching hockey...the camera is one of few things that can distract him from the game lol...it's not your 'standard' portrait i guess but it captured an honest emotion in each person that i fell i love with...
