ART 1101 GNTC The Person Who Loves Nature and Taking Trips Essay

Your assignment is to photograph a friend or family member in their own space or in a setting that reflects their personality. The objects and setting in their surroundings are part of the portrait, or capturing of this person’s distinct characteristics. Use the elements and principles of design to tell your story, in a way that the mood would be there whether or not the friend was in the photo. This is a formal portrait, not a snapshot, so your friend should be looking at the camera when you take their portrait. When you upload your image, write a few sentences about this friend (or family member) and what qualities you were trying to capture by the way you staged and framed the portrait. How do the elements involved tell the story of them?
