3.5 "Senior" Portraits
Objective
Develop photography and modeling skills while using filters to creatively add unity to a series.
Senior photos… a rite of passage that you can actually make a career on!
Before our field trip to Lake Union, choose 1-2 partners. You will take turns modeling for each other as if you were taking senior portraits to share with your family (the better the photo, the more $ your relatives send at graduation).
1) Find 5+ poses for your model to try: for boys, for girls. Screenshot them so you can easily access them.
2) While at Lake Union, take warm-up shots and end the day with 30+ photos overall. Make sure to have the 5+ different poses of your model to choose from.
3) Retouch the best 4+ portraits using the steps from 2.8 Portrait Retouching.
4) Choose a filter (or combination of filters) that you like and apply it to all of them to add unity to the series.
