Due November 9. 6pm. 4 pts.

Create a series of 20 portraits using window light. Try to work with at least 2 subjects. The assignment can be done with a cameraphone or a camera. If you don’t have a good window to work with, work outside during the day in diffused light. This means on a cloudy day or in the shade. Check the weather and plan ahead.

Pay attention what is in the frame and make sure the background adds to the photo and is not distracting.

Your photos should use light, expression and the relationship between the subject and the surroundings to be expressive. No props. If you have curtains or venetian blinds, you may use them as elements in the photos.

Make global adjustments in Lightroom and put your final 20 photos in an album on Flickr. Send your best 2 to the class group.
