2. Portrait and People Photography Photographs that show the expression of a human most likely using their face as the main focal Point
3. Get Close - Big mistake is not getting close enough to your subject. Get close, fill the frame with your subject!
4. Settings - Settings and scene can really add emotion to a portrait. Settings tell us information about the people and their way of life

6. This doesn’t necessarily mean setting your aperture to the lowest number possible, rather to a lower number (5.4-11) to give your subject separation from the background

9. Props - Props help to give the photographs a life and tell us more about the subject. Include props but don’t let them become the main focus of the portrait.
19. Work/Life/Candid - Don’t tell your subject to pose. Rather be unobtrusive and photograph them doing what they do. A posing smiling person is not always the best.

21. Assignment 4 Portraits Backlit/ Silhouetted Waist and above Close up/Head Shot Work/Life/Candid
22. 1. Backlit/ Silohetted Subject will be completely black Having the subject being involved in an action or a pose of some sort will most likely enhance the photo..separate the extremities from the body How Meter for sky, set shutter speed + apature Then compose shot, subject will be very underexposed Make sure subject blocks the light source
23. 2. Waist and above Setting is key on this one. Either choose a setting that will add to the photograph OR Find a very neutral setting Separate subject from setting with lower DOF
24. 3. Close up/Head Shot Get just the shoulders and above This is the Hollywood headshot. Make sure your lighting allows you to fill out all facial features…USE NATURAL LIGHTING! Fill your frame with the subject
25. 4. Work/Life Capture a shot showing a person in their natural setting Doesn’t necessarily need to fill the frame as the setting and the props will add to the setting Higher DOF might be helpful as the scene should add to the person in their natural setting
