2019-20 Fall - HART1038 - Introduction to Portrait Photography

Course

Description

Capturing a person’s face with a camera is easy but making a meaningful representation of that person through photography requires not only photographic techniques, but also the ability to communicate, understand and make insightful interpretation of one’s personality. In this course, students will acquaint themselves with the history and development of Portraiture in different art forms, learn to analyze portraits taken by master photographers, and acquire knowledge and skills necessary to make a good portrait through hand-on practices and photo editing workshops. Basic photography knowledge is preferred but not necessary.
