Environmental Portraits:

Environmental Portrait #1.
I like this photo because I think theres not a lot of background to show and it just focuses on the model which is the girl posing for the picture.

Environmental Portrait #2.
I like this photo mostly because of the smoke, I think it makes the photo look better with something other than the model posing in the picture and this is just a good way to get a different look at the subject.

Self Portraits:

I like this photo because it looks like clouds or smoke or something? I think it just makes the the photo look better how it shows it coming out of his mouth.

I like this photo mostly because it looks digital I guess... But I think without this feature the photo would look really boring and just plain so this just enhances the picture and makes it look better.

Plan for my Portrait assignment:

I will probably shoot a friend of mine or family member. I will try different angles or change the lighting to make the picture look better. I will most likely take the picture outside or inside I have not decided yet.
