Portrait Photography \u00c2\u00a0Photographing ‘the other’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Distinct from much of what we do as journalists, the portrait is a posed, setup situation<\/strong>. This is a photo where you take control of all the elements – it uses a different creative part of your brain. Rather than reacting and interpreting real events you are creating the image by arranging and directing.\u00c2\u00a0
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goal:<\/strong> To practice the art of portraiture. To practice building a relationship with a subject. To further consider how to compose and construct a compelling image.<\/p>\n

**Remember to stay six-feet away and wear a mask. I would suggest using larger spaces for this – there are many locations on campus with big open spaces and large windows. **<\/p>\n

You will photograph a stranger<\/span> – and create a portrait. Your subject can be a friend of friend, but not someone you know well. Each subject must fit at least three<\/strong> of these criteria.<\/p>\n
