• Outdoor Natural Light Portraits – Due Thursday before class is over

We will take these portraits outside, but set up as studio portraits. Photograph a person or several people outside in nice soft lighting. Try to avoid having the background brighter than the subject. You will need to do some editing to have the subject not be dark. Consider what you want your depth of field to be. Utilize camera angles and different perspectives. You will upload your best 6 portraits to your blog and title your blog, “Outdoor Portraits” 3×2 gallery and title each photo in the caption area.
