These are my practice rounds with my dad at home. I don’t have studio lights so I took them beside windows and normal light. I like the close-up shots and the warm tone of the sofa. Another thing that worked out was the blanket beside my dad’s head; it created a soft and warm feeling, like the photo of the theme of “family.” I tried to turn all these pictures to black-and-white to meet my intention statement. However, I think keeping them with colors can elicit the warm and caring tone of a father. Moreover, in the second-row second photo, I tried different angles and used my dad’s feet as the foreground; but after trying, I think close-ups worked better than the low angles.

Something I can improve on is the lighting. My dad’s face is a bit dark, and the ones that only show the outline of the face also had a low exposure. Also, zooming in the photos is a bit pixelated, affecting the whole image’s quality. Next, I can open the lights in the room and change to a lower ISO. Plus, my dad preferred the photos with glasses, so next time we will try more pictures with glasses.
