I has a dilemma.
Photography assignment: two portraits, one formal, one informal. Difference is how much control the photographer has over the subject, from 'near-total' to 'near-none'. Due to absence of parents and jackassery of sisters (I offered to pay them, and that still didn't induce cooperation—suck on that, money-is-the-only-motivator libertarians), my only available subject is myself.
How the holy hell does one do a portrait where one has next to no control over the subject when the subject is oneself?

Maybe I'll just do two formal portraits and hope the teacher doesn't notice.

...nope, got nothin'.
Could you go wandering someplace where there are people in public and take candids of strangers?

I got a candid of my sister. She's pissed at me now.

It now occurs to me that I could take my camera to work and take pictures there. Thanks!
