Portraits... your first day shooting

Today you are going to have the bulk of the period to take portraits, of one another!  Your task is to set up interesting scenes around SC/Shoreline.  You are going to need 15 different portraits using FOUR different techniques (see yesterday's reading).

For every shot you should consider your subject, their expression, the "mood" you want in the image, the background, the pose, and your composition.  You are the boss when shooting portraits, take charge!

***some, but not all, your pics can be candid.  some must be posed!***

  • perspective
  • eye contact
  • rules of composition
  • experiments with lighting
  • dramatic subject (out of comfort zone)
  • shoot candidly
  • introduce a prop
  • focus on a body part
  • obscure your subject
  • take a series of shots (this will require more than 15 total pics)
