Outdoor Portraiture

A portrait is a photograph of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person.

Find a willing model and a suitable location to take an outdoor portrait for this task.

If you think it adds to the picture give the model a prop – a bicycle, book, pet, tennis racket etc. Try shooting the model in different poses. Think about what’s in the background and the composition.
