Today we will look at some artists who work in primarily portraiture and learn some tips and pointers on taking great photographs. Remember*
-have a theme
-Set a schedule
-Be prepared
-Post at least 4 Portraits
You cannot complete this assignment until you have taken at least 25 portraits on the digital camera and saved them in your folder – the more pictures you take, the better results you will get. You will be turning in your 4 BEST portraits for this assignment. Criteria 1. Create a series of portraits
2. All photos that you use for this assignment MUST be originals of yours that you took with a digital camera this semester.
3. Your 3 portraits must be part of a series and have a theme (either compositional style or subject matter or both.)
4. You must digitally change the images using one or more of the techniques you learned in tutorial #1 (cropping, change the color, adjust the levels – make sure the change or changes that you make enhance your photo making it a better composition or more eye-catching in some way.)
5. Always save your images in your personal folder under documents(just in case!!)
6. Turn your portraits into the shared folder for our class in the PORTRAITS folder. Create a folder with your name on it and save your 4 portraits into that folder.
