1638 - Portrait in Photography

Course Description

In this studio lighting course, students build on their understanding of photography fundamentals as they engage with the most important subject in photography -- the human face. After an introduction to studio lighting equipment, students progress to lighting and photographing models in a controlled environment. Two homework assignments that explore the environmental portrait give students the opportunity to shoot outside the studio and then experience a peer review. Practical matters like image ownership, rights and release are discussed to give students a more complete understanding of the details that surround a photographer's efforts to capture a portrait image.
