Year 3 Portrait Photography

Research the types of portrait photographs you would like to take, and/or are inspired by in each of the following available light situations:

1. Window light
2. Open shade
3. Direct sunlight

Find at least one image for each of the three lighting situations and briefly write about the photos. Discuss some or all of the following:
The poses, the light, the expressions, what you like about each of them, the difference between each of the lighting situations.


Your assignment:

Take one portrait in each of the following available lighting situations: window light, open shade, direct sunlight

Procedure:
Shoot the equivalent (minimum) of three old school rolls of film (24-36 frames) for each of the three lighting situations listed above.

You can photograph the same person, or three different people. Search/think about locations you'd like to use and take a variety of photographs in each of the locations.

Once you've shot your "rolls" of film, view, select and edit your best 3 from each. You'll end up with 9 images. Then choose your best shot to show in class.

Shooting days: Thursday/Friday
Editing: Friday/Monday
Present: Tuesday. Be ready to present your final image on Tuesday. I'd like to print them all so we can do a proper critique. Try to get them finished by Monday and ready to print during lunch or after school.
