Self Portraits and Portraits

Tip #3: Use Both Auto and Manual Focus

A good practice to get into when you're taking self-portraits is to use a mix of auto and manual focus. First, focus on your stand-in object using auto focus. Then, with the object still in focus, switch your lens to manual focus.

Tip #5: Capture You

My last tip is to use the images below only loosely as inspiration. A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality. And most of all, have fun!

I will shoot with Danaly. We are going to shoot in the courtyard because of the good lighting to capture a great picture. I will use some Rules of Photography to get successful photos such as, Simplicity, Rule of Thirds, and Symmetry. I think those are the main rules I would use to get a great self portrait.
