Portraits

Portrait/Form Project Criteria
Take a series of photographs of someone in natural light. The background is as significant as the subject and should be well considered. You are to compose five different portraits in surroundings that describe the person in the photo. Consider your expressions, costumes, props and lighting. (Photos by LFAS Alumni- Greg Swales)

1. Photograph your partner 25x or more. Make sure you take at least five different photos of each your partner using the same background so that you can have a selection to choose from. Try 2 different backgrounds and different angles, lighting, expressions ... The more pictures you take, the better chance for successful compositions. Be as clear as possible with your idea so that you can clearly communicate to your subjects.
