Journal Notes Chapter 5 pgs. 108-113

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
