Portraits

This assignment was good to learn some basics of portrait lighting. I didn't love being a model though, I definitely prefer to be behind the camera then in front of it.  Below are some of the pictures I took.  It was extremely hard not to edit them though. When I take pictures I have a vision of what I'm looking for and know with each what I'm going to do in post. That part of the assignment was new for me, but it will be fun to see how others edit the pictures and see their take on them. On some of the portraits I saw a look I wanted to capture, so I would zoom in with my camera or know that I would want to zoom in or crop in post. I also paid attention to the sharpness of my pictures, if anything I wanted to make sure my pictures were sharp. It was also interesting to shoot with as many people as we did. I usually am the only person shooting and am able to set up my lights, background, reflectors, diffusers, etc. Saying that, it was good for me to learn to shoot my shots quickly, knowing that I need to use these shots. Overall it was a fun assignment and I did learn a lot.
