I decided to take portrait photos of my dad. My dad has always been the funniest, most caring person I've met. He has always been there whenever I needed someone to cheer me up. I knew taking photos of him would always be a good time. In the photos I took of him I tried to show what his personality is like. I took the photos of my dad in our backyard. I constantly had to make sure the setting behind the photos weren't too distracting and mixed well with his skin tone. The photos were all taken at different angles to help create the best possible image. A major challenge I had while taking these photos was finding perfect lighting. A few locations I thought would make the picture look a lot better, ended up making it look much worse. I had to use selective focus to get the lens to focus on my dad, not the background. Also, I would always try to frame the photos so people looking at them would automatically look at my dad.
