PORTRAITURE

Write a learning log that reflects on what you learned about composition.  What did you learn?  Do you think your photography skills improved? In what ways?  If not- why not? How do you feel about your photographs overall? Did you give it your best effort?  If you were grading your own photographs based on originality, creativity, and demonstration of compositional skills, what grade would you give yourself?


2.  Please read the articles below (with pink hyper-links) and take Cornell notes on the articles
about key points and vocabulary.

This week you will be photographing PEOPLE.  You'll start by reading some tips about portrait photography and lighting.  Later in the week you will begin photographing people in a variety of poses.  There are big differences between formal, posed portraits and candid, unposed photos. Please read carefully to make sure you understand the differences.

Vocabulary:

Character Portraits- capture a person's physical likeness and some
aspect of their personality.
Fashion Portrait- should be less about the person and more about their apparel.
Social Landscape- capturing a person in their natural setting.
Candid Camera- taking a persons picture without their knowledge.
