Description

The goals of a portrait are to provide an impression of a person’s physical appearance and/or to reveal aspects of the person’s identity. This digital photography course aims to develop the understanding and skill in portrait photography to capture people’s identity, personality, and essence as subjects. Studies will primarily focus on the following:
1) Photographic techniques such as composition, lighting, and posing; photo sessions and environments.
2) People skills to develop good portraits. This includes generosity, collaboration, empathy, trust and assertiveness.

This is not a technical course, but rather the goals is to understand two basic principles in portraiture:
“The human first, the photographer second.”
“No two individuals are the same; no two photo sessions are the same.”
