Portraits
Working with 1 model of your choice, you should plan to photograph portraits of this individual. You will need 10 different shots of your model . Plan to shoot a variety of different shots including but not limited to: a couple of head shots, several full body shots, creative shots. Study other portrait photographer's work and learn how to effectively pose your model. This should be part of getting ready for your assignment.
This assignment is worth 30 marks. 20 marks for your portraits posted to Mdrive and 10 marks for your portraits put into a slideshow, set to music for viewing. If you do not meet the deadline for the slideshow, you will receive a zero for the presentation portion of the assignment.
Tips:
- plan your shots/shoot
- be aware of where the light is ( best times to shoot dawn and dusk)
- choose a good background
- use a prop ( umbrella, hat, scarf, pumpkin etc)
- shoot people in their element ( skateboarder with a skateboard at the skatepark)
- create a rapport with your model and direct the shoot, which means tell the model what you want them to do.
- get out and shoot when the weather is good.
- make sure you are not too far away from your subject
- these shots should not all be shot on the same day and MUST be edited.
