LEARNING PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

These images show myself testing out lighting and taking practice portrait images in preparation or my magazine project later on in the year. By doing this I learnt which lights to use and where they light the model, which background is best suited for taking portrait photos and also which lighting best shows the models features. I also learnt how to focus and use specific features on the camera itself.

When taking these images I also learnt how to direct a model, how to style the model and also using extras like a fan to better imitate the models image. By doing this, I feel I have the skills to take my images for my music magazine.
