n.
1. the art or practice of making portraits.
2. a pictorial representation; portrait.
3. a verbal picture.
Photographers have been taking portraits for as long as cameras have been around(1850's). What makes a portrait different from a photograph of a person as the subject, is the added intention to relate some personality and mood of the subject rather than just record an image of them.
Before cameras artists would paint portraits of those who could afford it and these were then used as status symbols as much as visual interpretations of the owner. Used in the home,in media and fashion.
For the module "Introduction to studio" we will be working in small groups to make a series of photographic portraits using studio flash and Hassleblad/Phase One camera and digital back. RAW files will be processed using Capture One software to produce at least 3 digital prints from a professional lab.
