Jason decides to capture different moods of humans as he travels around the world. What points should he consider when he shoots
a portrait photograph?
Objective of Ensuring Appropriate Lighting
In portrait photography, you, as the photographer, will have to consider many points to capture the perfect shot. You need to consider the facial
view, lighting ratio, lighting pattern, and angle of view while taking a photograph. However, even if you focus only on the lighting pattern, it will
definitely help you capture beautiful images.
Lighting pattern consists of how light and shadow play across the faces of individuals. Its main purpose is to create different shapes and sizes of
individual faces. One of the objectives of ensuring appropriate lighting for portrait photography is to make the face look fuller or thinner as per
the requirement of the shoot. The main source of illumination is the key light. You can do this by increasing the angle between the fill and key
lights. This also increases the texture in the face because the light moves farther to the side. The key or main light mimics the principal source
of light, which is the sun.
A conceptual portrait captures a specific concept or an idea. In such portraits, your objective is to convey a message. An abstract portrait usually
doesn't contain a defined pattern or picture. You can use various colors, patterns, or collages of your choice. It's a form of abstract art
that conveys a certain train of thought or feelings
<em>I believe this would fall into the 'Art' category rather the English category, but I think the best answer would be </em><em>Lighting</em><em> (how light affects your portrait) </em><em>Angles </em><em>(and how angles affect the mood & feeling of the subject) </em>
