Pictures of family, friends, and the people we find on our travels are usually among our most treasured possessions. Capturing another person's likeness can be emotionally fulfilling and creatively challenging, as well as an important record of what they look like. This workshop will enhance your ability to create more evocative and expressive images of real people in their real environment. We cover how to approach and communicate with your subject, how to compose, how to shoot candids and natural looking posed photos, how to construct group portraits, and how to work with available props and backgrounds. We also discuss how to use available light, reflectors, and basic flash. Our subjects are local residents, people who are wandering around our town and fellow students. We shoot at various locations, both inside and outside.
