  1. Portraiture

  2. Portraiture • Portraiture is a way of recording people. Their personality, character, the place and time they lived, the environment in which they live or simply showing beauty. • How do you capture that? (Getting your model comfortable enough to laugh, have eye contact, change positions, etc.) Food for thought- when I took a Studio Lighting Portrait class, the instructor told the photographers not to use film while taking the first 50+ frames with our models. Why would the instructor say that???

  3. Formal Portraiture Formal portraits use backdrops, key lights, soft boxes, etc.

  5. Lighting is Essential! -Lighting will make your image ‘pop’ and will be a main theme through this project. -Can you figure out where the light sources are coming from? FYI- In the show America’s Next Top Model, the panel talks about the models’ need to always being aware of the lighting direction. Here, you are not working with professional models so YOU always need to be aware of the lighting…
