Unit 8 Activity 1

Activity 1

Look through assorted media, magazines, internet and collect four portrait photographs. The environment should be a key feature in two of the four images.Describe the subject’s character in each of the images. What can you see within each image that leads you to these conclusions about the subjects’ character.

These four images that I found online are all portraits but the first two images are environmental portraits. It's a lot easier to tell the subject's character when their environment surrounds them. The subject in the first image shows a lively character since she's a swimmer while the second subject shows  his laid-back and good character since he's a famous singer. In the third photograph, the subject shows a serious side which is accurate because she's an actress. The last picture shows the subjects' character perfectly because she's an actress and a comedian. In the first picture, I can't tell the subjects' character because of her facial expression and also the pool in the background. The picture of Paul McCartney shows his character through his music. The last two pictures show their characters through their different facial expressions.
