These are the pictures and the edited pictures of my best friend, Batriysa. She is a quiet person on the outside. When she smiles, she looks beautiful. She used her watch and her hat as her props. I personally think the hat is adorable on her. I used the app PicsArt to edit my pictures. I did not take a long time to edit the pictures as I was used to using the app to edit my other pictures, I was also quite familiar with the app which makes it easier for me to edit the pictures whatever way I want to. What is my portrait about?
Subject Matter : Batrisya
Facial Expression : Smiling, relaxed
Background : School pond, Foyer
Props : Watch, Hat
Why did I choose to take my friend this way? I thought that it would be suitable to show her props, it also brings out her true self, she seems cheerful and really happy in these photos. What and Why I like about it? I like that I did not take a blurry picture of my best friend. She looks relaxed which was what i was trying to achieve for her facial expression, I think she looks pretty in the pictures with her props. I like it as it shows some of her true self, cheerful and a bit closed-off, which is how she may appear as when you just got to know her. What can be improved? I can improve by trying out other different angles rather than sticking to these angles.

Do you think the photo shoot was good? Why and why not? I don't think we did quite well as I, the photographer,got some of the angles and backgrounds wrong. We did our best to recreate the pictures as accurately as possible.We didn't really use any props except a drawn moustache.
What do you think can be improved for the next shoot? I think that we should check the original picture before we take the actual picture to prevent making any mistakes like getting the angles or backgrounds wrong.I think we should cooperate as a group and to plan what angles would we be taking the photos before we actually take it. The director would actually help me to get the angle correctly or correct me when I'm wrong.
