Tip #5: Capture You
My last tip is to use the images below only loosely as inspiration. A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality. And most of all, have fun!
Tip #1: Bring Something to Focus On
The problem that I saw when I looked through my viewfinder was that I didn't have anything to focus on aside from the items in the far distance. This of course would make for a perfectly blurry photo of me, which isn't at all what I wanted.
One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy. If you have an extra tripod or light stand, these make perfect substitutes that will stand upright exactly where you need them. I was out in my yard so I grabbed a shovel from my shed, stuck it in the ground, focused and then moved the shovel. Rudimentary, but it worked perfectly.
Environmental portraits
I like this picture because all of the guitars and it is an amazing collection and i think it make a good picture
i like this one because the guy is staying in the corner of the picture in a lake full of red stuff
This is a good one because the red background and the guy has a basketball so you can assume he likes basketball
this make a good portrait you can see the city she is at in the background and she looks happy
you can see the old man in a formal suit and him in his work space
