Premise: 
Our objective for this week’s lab session is to explore ways that available light can be used for portraiture. We’ll look at a few ways to frame and compose portraits, and to position your subject for ideal lighting.

Objective: 
Work with a family member or friend-in-your-pod to create interesting portraits using natural light sources.

Find locations outside, or inside next to a window that allows in sunlight, where you can work with your subject to compose portraits. Study the ways that the light hits your subject’s face. Position your subject, and position yourself in relation to your subject, to optimize the lighting available to you. Pay close attention to how your shot is framed and to your subjects expressions. 

Submission:
Shoot at least 20-30 images and upload them to Flickr. Share your best 3-4 with our group. Create a new post in our OpenLab course with your best images.
