Portrait Photography/Self-Portrait Photographs
Shoot at least 50 photos using another person as the subject for half and yourself as the subject for the other half. Before you shoot think about whether you are trying to describe the external or internal features of your subject. Use lighting, costumes, props, camera angles, depth of field and close ups to show us your vision.
Assignment Objectives
To explore the potential for photography to describe the inner and/or outer self. You will also begin the process of learning how to make a picture rather than taking a picture by using lighting, costumes, props, camera angles, depth of field, close ups, darkroom manipulations, etc.
Requirement
6-8 images of at least 3 portraits and 3 self-portraits.
