Portrait Photography

Images are the property of Caitlin McElroy

Portrait photography is something that I only do for school, so when I was asked to blog about a successful portrait that I've taken, I didn't have many options. This is a series of photos that I took during my first year photography course for a single light source project. These pictures were taken next to a window, and a reflector was used to help bounce light onto the left side of her face.

I'd say that these are successful photos because my subject is well-lit, she's animated, and her face is in-focus. Other parts of her are admittedly not as in-focus as they should be, and some of the colours are a little off, but for a first year photography project from someone who has never done portrait photography, they turned out pretty well!
