This is my twin brother Nico who I care for very much for and is pretty much my best friend. He has been with me my entire life and I couldn't ask for a better brother. I took this photo on spring break where we went to Siesta Key, Florida on this small beach that we were playing on while waiting for dinner. I thought that the palm trees were very interesting for a background so I wanted to include it as the "environment" in my portrait. Finally, I used the skills in class to create a perfect portrait/picture. For example, I cropped the photo to get better framing so that there wasn't any distracting things in the back so the viewer couldn't loose focus on the subject. I also tried to get a more sunset-like lighting for this photo so the image wouldn't be as bright and some other unnecessary colors wouldn't be as vivid. Third, I tried to get up and close to change my line of sight and to make my portrait a little more unique and slightly more interesting.
