My 2 Best Portraits!

Jared Sargent is our 215 wrestler
Sarah Merrill one of our 130 wrestlers


I choose these pictures because they show the best difference in the way I have done the project. This really shows a moment in time at the meet. Here he had just sat down next to me and I took the picture of him as he was cheering for Zack and making a face at me. This allows us a brief glimpse into his life. One of our favorite parts of this picture is his eye, it causes an implied line. I picked Sarah because I really like the way I have layered the flowers full of color add to the filters that I used. I really enjoy how she is not looking at me.

These pictures are similar because they are both wrestlers and I see them on a daily basses. Both of these people are not looking at the camera and show there own personalities in a way. The differences between the two are, the number of layers I used. I only used one with Jared’s but I used several on Sarah’s. Here Jared looks like a porcelain doll, so unlike him, but this picture still shows him but in a different way. Sarah’s picture just plainly shows you, Sarah.

I learned about peoples personality and how I really need to pay closer attention to when I’m saving and what I’m doing. I feel that the my portraits could have been better if I tried to think harder and thought more about who each person is and how they live their lives.

  1. I really like that Sarah's picture has a variety of color in it and in Jared's picture the bright white makes you automatically look at his face.

  3. I like the picture of Jared. It almost makes him look as though he's messing around like he usually is. I think the picture may be too close to his face though. I feel it would be a better picture if you had included more of his body in the picture, though it's possible that I would change my mind once I saw that.

    I don't care for the picture of Sarah. I feel the filter you used drowned the detail of her face out too much, so you don't really get to see much of any emotion on her face.

  4. I love your pictures. I think you did a very good job on both of these. I really like the filters you used on both pictures, and I also like the angle that you took the pictures from. They both have good composition.

  5. I like the filter you used on Jared. It makes his face look more smooth, showing good contrast against his dark hair. I also like how the background is somewhat blurred out. Gives the photo good composition. The layers and the colors you used on Sarah's photo look great together. Nice job!
