Self Portrait and portraits part 2

Both of these photos stood out to me. The top one looks fun, its not a boring portait where you can notice where the photographer positioned the subject. The background is really cool too, it goes well with the girl.
The photo below also stood out to be because of the lines in the photo, and its a close up so you know what the subject is. I love how he man has a violin also, and how its black and white, it all fits together. Oh, and of course i like his hat.

I really love both of these photos. I chose the one above because its creative to have a photo of a face and have the person hold it in the correct position to fit the photos position.
The photo to the right is amazing, its different, something not everyone could come up with. I love the idea to have the face painted with red dots like the pomagranate and have red lips. Its a perfect photo.

I like how the photo to the left has a simple background, but the subject makes all the difference. She stands out, the glasses, the lipstick, hair, and clothes help a lot. It makes it look very interesting. The photo below is really cool too, the background mixes well with the subject, he's very simple compared to the background. Its the complete opposite from the photo on the left.

Because this school is try basic and not fun to take photos of, I'm going to try to look for someone that is dressed interesting, or simply catches my attention. Id want to take a photo of the person in a simple spot, so she or he will stand out. Depending on what they look like or what they're wearing, id chose between a close up or a medium shot.  If i get a close up, id want to have them positioned to the left or right of the photo. If its a medium shot and the subject is dressed well, or they look good, ill center them  .
