Portrait Assignment


This is a photograph of a farmer at the Farmer's Market. I approached him to take this photograph and he appered flattered. I was happy when he gave me a big smile. It is very interesting to compare and contrast the photographs of the subjects I knew and those that I did not know. Overall, I noticed that I photograhed people much closer when I was comfortable with them and photographed further away when I did not know the person or people because I was less comfortable. Many of the people I photographed were willing to let me photograph them, some more reluctant than others. I love taking portrait photographs because they often tell you so much about the person.
