Outdoor Portraits with Mother Nature

Every year Mother Nature shows her true colors and we all rush outside to take our clients outdoor portraits. Using tools of the trade the second years learned the fundamentals of outdoor portraiture. We studied how to “look” for light and make use of it to provide shape and form on our subjects. We also explored methods used to modify it to our liking or add some supplemental light to compliment what’s existing. As usual with every module of content there is an assignment created encouraging them to put into practice what has been taught. Assignment parameters required that they go out and shoot an “Outdoor Portrait” and capture two images of their subject enjoying the environment and then a second closer. These two images were then to be put together as a collective for review by their “Client” the old commercial guy for marking. Here are a set of Outdoor portraits that I would consider worthy of selling to the market.
