Working with People
· A portrait is usually a collaborative project between the subject and the photographer
· A successful portrait photographer learns to become comfortable in front of people and interact with them.
· Make your subjects feel at ease
Camera Formats
Thinking Artistically
· Value is an important design element to consider when creating a portrait
· Keep in mind the location of the light source in an image
· Values can also bring emotional content to a photograph
· You can also use light and dark values to emphasize certain aspects of your subject
Camera Accessories
· Tripod- Three legged metal stand
· Cable Release- Flexible wire one end of which attaches to the camera’s shutter release
· Reflector- Anything that will reflect light into the shadows
The Formal Portrait
· Is the simplest portrait style and should emphasize the person and nothing else
· Place the person in front of a neutral background.
· You should decide how much of the subject you want to show
