Realistic and Ambiguous Portraits

These photos are all examples of realistic and ambiguous portraits.

This photo is a good ambiguous shot because the photographer captured the two little girls in the moment. Neither of the subjects are looking at the camera, or posing.

I like this portrait because the children are caught being themselves. They aren't concerened with the photographer. Their personalities are captured.

In this photo athough the child is smiling, the photo is not posed. One subject is trying to get a peak at the baby while the other smiles at it.

In this ambiguous portrait the band member stares into the distance. This photo isn't posed becuase the subject looks to be in the middle of a thought.

I like this photo because the bride and her wedding party are so in the moment that this photo is not posed.

To make this ambiguous shot better i would lighten up the subject more, and crop it a little bit more. This photo looks real because everyone is helping to get Thanksgiving dinner prepared.

To make this shot better I would've zoomed in closer to the subject to eliminate all of the noise in the bottom half of the photo. I would also focus in more on the subjects. 

David Hockney Style

Important things to consider when shooting Hockney style images would be to pay attention to angles as well as distances from the subject. You have to make sure you continue shooting from the same angles to ensure that lines align correctly. It is also important to make sure the lighting is consistent throughout your shooting. This is because the subject may look different when it comes time to print.
