Portraits Vs. Snap Shots

Portraits. They focus on the subject's face, expression, and emotion in the model. Capturing an intimate moment. Manjari Sharma has a strong connection with the models, which seems to make them a bit more comfortable during the shoot. Making it alot more natural aswell. This method seems like a very good idea. The more natural the connection is, the better the portrait becomes, and the better it can capture the expression and emotion in the model. Manjari seems to very much enjoy working with people, and capturing these lovely portraits.
Snap Shots. Consist of posing. When you snap a photo, usually your model is posing. Even if you don't mean to, or tell them to. Example? Last day of school, all your friends get together, get in a group, make some funny faces and snap! You have a memorable photo, but it's not a portrait. Snap shots can be as good as portraits, but they don't have much of a one on one connection with the photographer/viewer and the person in the photo. But they can look very nice.

I'm looking forward to the Portrait assignment. I've actually done quite a few portraits on my own, and I'm very proud of them. They capture alot, and they're usually very deep. They can capture a person's personality in a simple 2D photograph. It's quite amazing.
