- must work together to create an image that says what both people want it to say about the person in the photo
- portrait photographer learn to b4ecome comfortable in front of people and interact with them
- balance btw having enough detail and being able to respond quickly to your subject
- candid and environmental portraits, 35mm cameras are perfect- fast to operate; won't capture as much detail as you may need for formal portraits
Film Speed
- slow films (50-100 ISO)- finger grain captures more detail and creates smoother looking image, which makes them good for formal portraits; slow film= tripod
- fast films (400-3200ISO)- faster films= mores sensitive to light and are ideally suited to available- light photography, like candid and environmental portraits; doesn't capture fine details nearly as well; you can handhold the camera
- b&w can focus attention on subject;formal, serious quality;edgy
- color can carry feelings and impressions
24mm
- distortion is obvious in portrait
- too close to subject
- distortion decreased
- near normal perspective, w/o any distortion
- tripod- 3-legged metal stand on which you can mount camera; best for stationary subjects, rather than fast moving situations
- cable release- flexible wire, one end of which attaches to camera's shutter release; when pressed,lets you trip the shutter w/o touching and jarring the camera
- reflector- anything that will reflect light into shadows to lighten them for a flattering and 3-D portrait
- simplest portrait style and should emphasize the person and nothing else
- can be anything from a close-up of the face to a full-length view of a person
- Victorian photographer
- started at 48yrs
- began to photograph neighbors and friends, sometimes making straight portraits of them, other times dressing them up in costumes to act out scenes
- self-taught
- was one of 1st people to approach photography as an art, and not just as a way to document the world around her
