Week 3

Two Portrait Subject:
Person 1: 

• Name: Rylee Henderer
• "Claim To Fame": Rylee has rode horses for a long time and has just recently been trying out to become a Rodeo Queen. She did equstrian team in high school. She tried out for The Philomath Frolic and Rodeo Queen position last year and didn't make it. Just a couple weekends ago she tried out for Benton County Rodeo Queen and won. She will be the 2017 Benton County Fair Rodeo Queen. 
• Best Environment for Photos: The best environment would be with her horse in the arena. Another option would be in a field or wherever she keeps her horse and practices riding. 
• Props: The best props would be her horse, maybe her sash or crown if she has one yet. 
• Contact: I can contact her either by Facebook or call her.

• Best Environment for Photos: His shop. Corvallis Fresh Fades
• Props: Scissors, trimmer, chair, and even just his shop.
• Contact: I can call him on his personal number or on the shops line. 

Self Critique: The best photo that I have taken so far is when I went to the Yoga class and took a picture of partner stretches. The reason it is the best is because the angle in lower and it shows and tells a story to some point. Even though you can't see everyone's face it still gets its point across.

The worst photo I have taken so far is of a fraternity playing bubble soccer. Even though it is an overall shot I could still have gotten closer instead of zoomed in. I also didn't edit it so there is a lot of extra stuff on top and bottom. The lighting is the only thing that I really going for it because it is during the day so there is good natural light.

The skill that I have most improved is just take pictures and a lot of them. I have realized that even though the person or subject may still be in the same position I should take five or more pictures of it so that I can get the best one.
