Portrait photography




Taking a portrait on site and in the studio vary because the condition are different for example the lighting is provided, whereas the lighting in the studio is controlled but that can be very difficult.
The composition in both outdoors and studio portraiture should be the same which is the face centred and not much background showing. The point that should be the main point of focus and the sharpest is the eyes. If a photo is taken on location and the background has a lot going on then the back ground should be blurry which is a shallow depth of field.

Method
  1. First the low key lighting was set up but two lights where set up so that the light could be alter between the two creating a different effect.
