In art, an accepted practice is to begin by imitating the masters. In the fine arts class portrait, please find an iconic photo to use as your model.
This one of Greta garbo is by one of the great names in photography, Edward Steichen.
- In a GoogleDoc insert the image that is your inspiration and guide. Label the entry "portrait."
- Use side lighting.
- Vary the POV. As I've said, I favor shooting from above.
- Vary the tonality; you might try b/w or sepia.
- Try to find a clean background: one that is plain and that doesn not compete with the face for attention.
