Blog Notes: Ch. 5 Portraits (p. 120-125)
- environmental portrait - subject's surroundings used to help tell person's story, combo of formal portrait & photojournalism, shows subject's life, prominence of background depends on how much it says about the person
- wide-angle lenses (indoors): 35mm, 28mm, 24mm
- f/5.6, f/8, f/11 for greater depth of field (sharp & in focus)
How to retouch a digital portrait...
- clone stamp tool or healing brush for blemishes & imperfections
- 100% opacity to completely block out area & replace it
- Alt (Opt) key & left click to sample area you want to clone/copy
- self portrait - you become your own subject, show who you are, show something about your life, can reveal as little or as much as you want
