1. Experiment with lighting 2. Shoot Candidly 3. Play with backgrounds Environmental Portrait: I liked these portraits because you could see the subject clearly even though they were in a crowded background. I also think the background helps tell the story of the picture and gives you information about the subject. Photography Self Portrait: I like the first self portrait because it was taken on an old vintage camera. The photographer also was very creative and took the picture in a mirror.

Casual Portrait: I like these portraits because they don't feel very forced. I also like the cool tones used in the first image.

Child actors are being forced to grow up quickly because of the extreme pressure being placed on them by fans, parents, and managers.

1. Simplicity The simple background used in the picture helps to make sure that the viewer can focus on one thing. Nothing in the background competes with the main focal point. 2. Rule of Thirds In the photo above, the camera has focused the most important elements along the imaginary grid. This helps add a balance to the photo. 3. Lines In the photo above, the white street lines lead the readers eyes toward the alerting sign. 4. Balance Having the buildings be even on both sides makes the picture feel more balanced. It also leaves little white space that can make the picture feel boring. 5.  Framing The picture above uses framing by showing the water surrounding the island.

The key elem...

1. The best song of 2017 was Too Good At Goodbyes by Same Smith. I enjoyed this song because I though it was different than the current music. Instead of incorporating any pop elements, it was mainly him singing. This was a welcomed change from the current music of my generation. I also liked this song because it took you on a journey that you could tell was personal. 2. I thought Wonder Woman was the best movie of 2017. I liked this movie because I thought it was very well done and I never felt bored or confused while watching it. I also liked how both the protagonist and antagonist were women. It also ties in the mythical world Wonder Woman came from and the real world. I like that the movie was set in the middle of World War 2. 3. "Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to join White House as senior adviser; no formal role for Ivanka Trump" was the most important news story of 2017.

This also showed the violence that can transpire from a monumental action.  This is one of my top three favorite pictures of 2017 because it shows people taking a stand and exercising their 1st amendment right. I like this because people started to speak up for the changes they wanted to see in the United States.
