Portraits ~ by Taylah.

I'm late. Sorry!

So portraits! I started this fortnight really excited about the theme, hoping to finally get the guts to take some portraits of people. But alas, time got away from me and I had a real lack of victims so, my original plan sort of failed.

I decided to Google the actual definition of 'portrait', to sort of find my way around it. Usually when I think portrait, I get the picture of a person from about shoulders up, posed, staring at the camera.

por·trait 

/ˈpôrtrət/

Noun

A painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person.

A representation or impression of someone or something in language or on film.

I ditched my mainstream definition of portrait and just decided that if there was a person (or animal) in frame, it was a portrait.

So here we go. My brother in his natural habitat. I was also tempted to use these outtakes: here  & here.  

 

 I couldn't help but to include a dog photo, so we have Bailey in the sunlight filled garden. 

And lastly, one I'm a little scared to post, as it's a self portrait. Last Friday was Self Harm/Injury Awareness Day, where to raise awareness people choose to wear an Orange ribbon, write LOVE on their arms or draw a butterfly on their wrists as a part of The Butterfly Project. I went with the butterfly. 

'See' you all in two weeks!
