How do you make a good portrait photo? What defines a portrait and what kind of portrait photography exists in the world? During this week you will learn the answers to questions like these. You will learn how to use existing and additional light, about composition and directing. The interaction between photographer and model plays an important role, as do the location and the creative use of attributes. All of these elements will play a part in this course.
What will you be doing?
You will start the day by looking at and discussing the work of inspiring portrait photographers. Through this you will learn what choices you will have to make when shooting a good portrait photo.
