Portraits

Do you like still life / portrait/ landscape paintings best?

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:38:53 +0000

I started with still life’s, and hated doing them..I was probably too young. Then went into Graphic design, Line Art for Advertising. then Portraits, pastel, always working at quick studies and life drawings. A few years ago, we had a garden and I got back into still life’s and have a much greater appreciation for all they offer, automatically, with so much to consider. The design of lights and shadows, highlights, color, negative space, just coming up with a good composition is challenging. I actually enjoy still life’s now, having a renewed appreciation.
Portraits are either excellent or disastrous (when I think too much, or try too hard-know the person too well). I love landscapes, and have done mostly these. No matter how they start, they end with a touch of surrealism, which makes them more unique and interesting….and personal.

Can somebody tell me any Old Famous Beauty Portrait photographers, they might know?

My A2 Photography project consists of a series of different types of portrait photography, I’m finding it difficult to find a old well known photographer that took some amazing Beauty portraits, any ideas ?

Cecil Beaton took photos of the most famous and beautiful women (and men!) in the world during the mid 20th century. David Bailey famous for his photos of Twiggy, Chrissie Shrimpton etc from the 60s onwards.

how do portrait photographers use props to show the sitters personality?

admin — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:39:53 +0000

what props do they use and why?

they don’t… if a photographer is doing photos of people, they’ll ask for the person to bring their own things… (well, clothes)

you’d have to know someone very well to know the persons personality…

Why does this portrait studio do this?

The portrait studio owned by Sears calls themselves CPI Corportation, but they are a registered LLC. Why do they call themselves a corporation if they are really an LLC?

This is NOT a photography question.

does anybody know any 21st century portrait photographers who like to distort their photos?

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:35:47 +0000

I like to distort my portrait photographs using my computer – I am studying photography and the teacher likes us to research famous photographers for each genre.

Though he’s 20th century, David Hockney is the main artist I used in my art studies at GCSE & AS level.

What do I need to start a portrait studio?

admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:52:22 +0000

I’ve been doing outdoor portraits for some time now and am ready to incorporate a mobile studio thanks to what you might call a windfall. The studio will be reserved for newborns, babies, and small children mostly. I’m looking to compile a list of ’supplies’ that will be my foundation. If you have any thoughts or recommendations I would love to hear them!

Thank you!

Hi Lexi,

You’d got to incorporate all that you can to achieve the desired results in terms of the lighting that you may require. Soft boxes of adequate size and dimension, backgrounds, props, toys, basic amenities, and other essentials which make children comfortable and at peace within your studio.

cost of cd at picture me portrait studios (walmart)?

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:05:35 +0000

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew the cost of just getting a cd of your pics from the walmart portrait studio instead of ordering prints through them.

If I remember correctly, they told us that if we ONLY bought the CD, it would cost over $200. We did a package that got us the CD and prints for around $270. You might be able to talk to them about a package that includes the CD and is cheaper than that.
