SOUVENIR FOTO SCHOOL::ASSIGNMENT NO. 12::CREATIVE PORTRAITS

{join souvenir foto school today!}

Creative portraits and what I mean by that is not someone sitting there with no life in their eyes/expression looking like they are being tortured (unless that look is part of your creative set-up than go for it).  I want you to get as creative as you want on this.  I am including some inspiration images and links that I hope get you in the mood...This first image if from Phillipe Roy of his assistant, he has an explanation on his site of what he did. Click on any of the images to take you to the photographers sites.

 

 I found a site that was all portraits, it is really hit or miss some are great some are um, interesting.  This is one I liked by Jareck Kubicke but they have a random picker you can click that will give you a whole new set of portraits.

This was a very cool self portrait I found.  I liked that he admitted that it took him 102 tries! It's digital baby, go for it, shoot as many shots as you need, one may be a total winner like this shot:

 

A creative photo project called Room 23 collaborated by photographer Deborah Anderson and Diana Jenkins. 100 people (okay celebrities) shot at this one location--a hotel room.  Think how the photographer had to step outside the box on that! 100 people, in the same setting (not at the same time), a relatively small space with the same basic set-up (no new sets were created for each sitting). 

So no excuses for not being able to find a person to shoot (yourself will do quite nicely thank you AND most point and shoots do have a self-timer). If she could dedicate a 100 portraits to one room I am sure you can do one quite nicely. Pick your place and go outside your comfort zone. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
