This week we had an introduction to portraiture and the fundamentals of composition
Some things to think about while photographing people:
- How do you want to frame your subject
- Does the background need to be in focus or blurred, what should the aperture be set at
- Try to only focus on the subject, and eliminate any distracting elements from the frame
- Lighting, natural, artificial or combination
- Engage the subject so that they are comfortable in front of the camera
Assignment 4: Bring in 3-5 portraits photographed in different lighting situations, using natural and artificial light. Also bring 5-10 images working towards your final project
