This class explores the history of portraiture, the traditional versus the non-traditional in portraiture, and what a portrait can be and say. Students are introduced to working with natural and existing light to create portraits as well as the theory and practice of portraiture on location and in a variety of contexts. Practical assignments are given to help students understand how to problem solve technically and conceptually. The course consists of lectures, assignments and critiques. Students are expected to complete assigned readings and exercises, a final photographic project and a class presentation.
