Learning Goal
- Students will be able to take creative portrait photos
Anyone can point a camera at someone and snap a picture. As a photographer, you need to compose, direct, and think critically to capture a creative portrait. Portraits are remembered, snapshots are stuffed in a shoebox.
Team up with a partner. You will draw a number (1 - 19). We will use two links that cover 20 guidelines and tips to help your portrait photography. Find the number/tip you selected and learn about it. You will teach your technique to the class. Apply the technique to shoot your own example. Add your example and info about the technique to the collaborative page below. You will only have a limited amount of time to plan and teach your 'lesson'.
Make sure to ask for permission before you take someone's portrait shot. Also, watch out for distracting backgrounds while you are shooting.
