Today you will be continuing your portrait research. I'd like you to answer a few specific questions regarding portrait work: remember to use the Internet, but write everything in your own words and  always check several sites to make sure you're getting good information. You can do this in WORD.

1. What are the best lighting conditions for a portrait?
2. What are good background ideas for portraits? What backgrounds can you think of that you have HERE?
3. What are good angles to use when shooting portraits? Are certain angles less flattering?
4. What are some good poses, or poses you particularly like? Provide images below of examples you plan to try.
5. What does pricing look like in this area? See if you can find pricing information on either craigslist or local photographer sites. List at least 3.
6. What would you charge? By the hour, by the pose? How much for a senior portrait session vs. for a wedding?
7. Are there any special tips or considerations when taking portraits of babies and children?
8. Do you prefer the drama of black and white in a portrait, or the pop of color?
9. Look up the work of 2 different famous portrait photographers: Annie Leibovitz and David La Chappelle. Which do you personally prefer. Why?
10. What are the similarities and differences in their style? Do a quick compare and contrast of their styles.
