Portraiture Portfolio Project
What is a portrait?
-a painting, drawing or photograph of a person, can depict only the face or head and shoulders, full body
Step #1: Sign out a DSLR camera and get a partner.
Step #2: Make sure your camera is on MANUAL FOCUS
Step #3: Take 100 focused portraits of each other, which is 10 of each of the following:
-Basics: profile, frontal, 3/4
-Framing: close-up, shoulder length, mid-shot, full-shot
-Camera Angles: high angle, low angle, eye level
Step #4: Transfer and save your photographs to your student drive.
Step #5: Choose the best 10 of your 100 photographs = 1 of each type of portrait listed in Step #3 and pictured below. The 10 you choose should be the most dynamic and interesting of the 100. Choose a variety of facial expressions, those with a full range of values and those with balanced compositions. You will need to coach and direct your partner/model in order to get the photographs you want. To be a good partner/model for this project you must listen and take guidance from the photographer.
