Natural Light Portraits

COM2205 - HOME
Natural Light PortraitsThis topic will take THREE classes.

1) VIDEO LESSONS

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1) VIDEO LESSONS


#1 Natural Light Portraits

#2 Backlit Portraits

​2) PRACTICE SHOTS - NATURAL LIGHT PORTRAITS


You need to be in a group of 3 (or 4) for this. One person is the photographer, one is the subject, and the third is the "assistant" that holds the photo reflector disc.


You will go outside as a class to practice using reflector discs.

Remember: Do not let the reflector discs touch the ground. They can balance on top of your shoe if necessary but should otherwise be in use or zipped in their case.


3) NATURAL LIGHT PORTRAITS ASSIGNMENT
Natural Light Portraits

You will submit a total of SIX (6) up-close portraits for this project.


Using a photo reflector disc, you will demonstrate how to take advantage of natural light to even out shadows and improve your portraits.
