The Fundamentals of Portraiture

Portraiture--the visual interpretation of a person--is much more than merely recording a face. This online class provides the in-depth foundation necessary to achieve strongly felt, expressive, and interpretive portraits. Elements of portraiture such as lighting; environment and location; gesture, expression, and pose; composition; camera position and formats; and the relationship between subject and photographer will be explored and analyzed. Photographic assignments will be provided and analyzed during class. Utilizing social distancing measures, when needed, will also be discussed.
