The Smile Project

This project is called the smile project. We had to take pictures of 15 different people, one picture of them smiling and one picture without a smile. Something that was difficult was placing them in the right spot for the picture, because we needed good light, and we needed to incorporate the rule of thirds. Also, sometimes it was hard asking for the pictures. Some changes I saw in the pictures were how relaxed their faces were when they weren’t smiling, and then how exited they looked when they did smile. Bias could affect being a photographer because you don’t want to offend the person by taking their picture differently than someone else because of where they are from or because of what job they have. When you take a picture of someone, a way of taking “fair” photos is by asking the person where they want to stand or how they want their pictures taken. You can see my pictures HERE
