So Portraiture is a huge part of photography. However, portraiture can often turn into a point and shoot operation, so to make the lesson more meaningful I added some extra challenges and expectation to make the student think a little more about their images.
Assignment:
10 photos total
1- must have a blank background
- This does not have to be just a wall or a black sheet this just refers to controlling the background, so there is nothing else in it.
1- must be of at least two people
1- Must be a candid photo
1- use portrait editing to the extreme
- We go through a few step by step lessons on how to fix pores, add hair use the liquify filter, and repair blemishes. This is also where the students learn to never trust images that are in the magazine, because they can see how easy it is to change their own images.
1- must use a filter(shoot through something ex: tree, reflection, window, glass, crystal, smoke, dust, thrown snow, grass. )
5- images can be any style of portrait you like. find you personal style
All images must be edited
save them as JPG's
name them
I use this video to learn up on skin editing, and this Youtuber has a link on the video to her free frequency separation download. So I highly recommend giving it a try.
Here are a few of my student examples!
