For these pictures I was on an assignment to get a headshot for the school's online newspaper. I was told to take the pictures outside, so I decided to go out and shoot the pictures by the pond. A headshot is taken from the bust up so that is why I took them the way I did. However, their are multiple things wrong with the images I took. After taking the pictures and looking at them I noticed that my main problem was the background. In both photos I placed the subject in an area that didn't compliment the photo at all. In the first picture, there seems to be some sort of water pipe growing out of the subjects ear. After noticing this, I decided to move the subject. However, once again, I failed to pay close attention to the background. In the second picture there is an onning running through the back of my subject's head. Having the same problem twice really makes me consider the background in a photo more seriously. In the future I'll try to pay more attention to the placement of my subject.
