ABSTRACT

The purpose of a portrait photograph is to create a representative image of a person. The task can be as simple as capturing a mirror-like image, clearly identifying the person, as is needed for a passport, for example. Or, it can be as complex as having to portrait and express an individual’s personality as part of the picture. Creating both images is made easier with a fundamental understanding of how different lights are effectively used to illuminate model and background. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780240816265/ffb21561-2f2c-4dca-99ec-f086fc154d4d/content/figch54_u1_OC.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
