Portrait intro
1. What is the difference between a Formal, informal, environmental portrait?
In formal portraits, the subject is usually dressed nicely, sometimes very stiff. In informal pictures, the subject is not stiff, dressed casually and sitting or just hanging out. In environmental portraits, the subject is found in their natural environment. They're captured in their everyday lives.
2. What do the eyes tell us?
Eyes can be looking off to the side of a picture which can indicated thinking or intelligence and sometimes they be looking up or around which indicates day dreaming or thinking in a casual manner.
3. What does the background and body position tell us?
Backgrounds, if seen in portraits can tell us where the person is, and what they're like. Body positions can tell us what kind of a portrait is taken and what the person is like. If the position is very stiff, the portrait is probably formal and the subject is of great stature. If the position is loose and casual, the picture is most likely informal and it tells us that the person, though great can enjoy just being like everyone else and hanging out.
4. How does the lighting affect the shot?
Lighting if dark around the person in the portrait can make them stand out, make them look soft or hard. It can show great detail for a dignified picture or show very little and make the picture and subject appear mysterious.
