Portraits andself-portaits

This is my favorite self-portrait.









This is my favorite professional portrait.











Focusing in on the subject make a good portrait. But if you have a background that is good too, it helps contrast everything. Something needs to be happening in the portrait to have a good one. Like the ones I chose, the girl on top is playing the guitar and the girl on the bottom looks like she is thinking about something thats bothering her.

I want to do portraits of other people. I will make then be doing something and not just standing there looking pretty. I will also either get close or have a contrasting background.
