In this course, students will learn how to produce portraits with style and personality. Whether posed or candid, and whether the subject is an individual or a group, animated or still life, located in the controlled conditions of a studio or in a natural setting, the highest potential can be achieved if the photographer pays attention to certain details and uses tools such as location, props and lighting to full advantage. Special emphasis will be placed on the role photographic techniques and equipment play in producing high-quality, innovative photographs. Students should bring their own 35 mm camera and film to class. Because of the Memorial Day holiday on May 28, the lecture for the second week of the course will be held on Wednesday, May 30.
