However I decided that my aim for this was to concentrate on the Bride and Groom. I wanted my shots to be candid, relaxed and informal, almost unaware of my presence. I set about this task using the natural daylight whilst at the Brides home and also the shaded light whilst outside.

He also encouraged his students to turn their cameras on their own lives as he did, he was an experimentalist who tried almost everything including double and triple exposure, blurs, large and small format film.

Having read a little from the Train your Gaze book on self portraits and also looking at Friedlander's self portrait work, I decided that I would have a little go myself. I do believe that it has difficult to judge several things:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
you <strong>cannot </strong>make any myriad of small decisions – about framing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You <strong>have lost</strong> a degree of control</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Because you are not behind the camera, you <strong>cannot</strong> pre-visualise the resulting image</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That means that you may make a picture of yourself that you <strong>don’t like</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
it increases the chances that you will make a picture that you <strong>don’t understand</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="justify">
When Shirin Neshat looks at herself through a camera , there is a real distance between herself as artist and herself as subject. This is of course true in the case of all self-portraits. You are no longer behind the camera. You cannot see yourself through the viewfinder, you cannot make any myriad of small decisions – about framing, about choosing the right moment – that make you want to press the shutter-release button. You have lost a degree of control. Because you are not behind the camera, you cannot pre-visualise the resulting image. That means that you may make a picture of yourself that you don’t like. Along with increasing the chances of accidents, it increases the chances that you will make a picture that you don’t understand.</div>

For this image: I set the camera up for an 8 second exposure and then onto timer. I then went and sat in the position that I thought best in front of the camera. I sat for 4 seconds and then quickly moved out of the camera view. This left behind a faded image (I was trying to have this image so that you couldn’t really see my face)</div>

This was an opportunist image. I was sitting looking at a book on the arm of the sofa, the light from the dinning room was on and shinning through casting my shadow on the lounge door. I grabbed my camera and took this image. The harsh shadow along the top is the top of the door where the light was coming from.</div>

Again I noticed the natural light coming through the blinds onto the wall. I quickly grabbed by camera stood in several different positions before I took the following two images. It was actually the chimney breast wall that is in an 'L' shape, so I think this is the reason behind the blinds not being straight towards the right side of the image and also the way my head shapes round.</div>

As you can see in the image below I have re-positioned myself to avoid the wall curve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These were purely only trial shots to see what the outcome would be – I do quite like the idea of self portrait and may continue with this to see where it can go.</div>

Florence Owens Thompson and her children in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California</div>

John Thomson's book Street Life in London has been called the beginning of social-documentary genre, but some have considered Thomson's pictures to be somewhat dubious because they look staged and take on the popular journalistic approach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This image was calculated to gain sympathy - and in my opinion has achieved the goal perfectly, making you wonder, what she is thinking, what the surroundings are like etc?</div>

Lange took this image and several others whilst travelling home from a trip to San Francisco. She saw the wet and hungry mother sitting under a make-shift shelter. She took several images steadily moving closer, until she was only focused on the mothers face and arms, the two children naturally turning away from the camera.</div>

Since Belfast has few tourists, she said, most of the buyers are local people, mostly young men who want them as souvenirs.</div>

A Belfast man bought two complete sets of the cards, explaining, "I think they are interesting mementoes of the times and I want my children to have them when they grow up.</div>

<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><em>For the final exercise transfer your attention from an organised occasion to a semi-organised public space. For example a public park or beach. Try to capture the sense of varied use - how people make their own personal or small group activities with the same general area.</em></strong><br />
<br />
I used the same Polo match event to capture these photos, because when the Polo had finished, people were picnicking and making their own entertainment. Therefore, I was happy in the situation of taking photos of people.<br />

<em><strong>The brief:</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong></strong></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>For this exercise you will need to research and prepare in advance. Look for an organised event at which there will be plenty of people and in which you can confidently expect to be able to photograph freely and with some variety. An event at which spectators are in seats will not do, one in which people move around.</strong></em><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
For this exercise I choose a sporting event, and paid attention to the event in front of me which was fast moving Polo Match. I have never been to anything like this before, but my husband had to attend with work and so I decided to tag along with my camera. It was an event with lots of people watching, there were trade shows, food outlets, Hampshire hound parade, but the main part of the day was the under 21's and under 25's Polo.<br />
<br />
I used my 28mm-105mm lens as I would be able to control this better without the use of a tripod, therefore being less conspicuous.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I arrived before the crowds started gathering and took several images of the marquee inside and out, the horses getting ready, the match and the presentations. I think I managed to get some good action shots of the actual match itself.<br />

Still not sure of the rules of the game, however I think I managed to get some decent shots with the focal range that was available to me.</div>

<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><em>As in the previous 2 exercises, concentrate on shooting with one focal length. In this case, if you have a full frame DSLR the focal length should be between 40mm and 50mm.</em></strong> <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shooting at a standard focal length shows the image that is very close to how the scene is viewed without the use of a camera and eliminates distortion that occurred in the previous two exercises. This offers a more factual representation of how the scene is viewed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
Yesterday I visited the Devon County Show, I packed up my camera and my family and left home at 07:30 and headed west, it was very busy when we arrived at 10:00 and took us over 30 minutes to get into the car park.<br />
<br />
It was a day out that I knew I would be able to use my camera with ease. It was exceptionally sunny, with little or no shade whatsoever. I selected 50mm on my lens and started about looking for good situations<br />

Here are a few images I have taken recently of my son and daughter, using only natural daylight and a reflector, I wanted to convert to mono and tweaked a little here and there, but I think the results are pretty good and a good variety of poses.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><em>Switch lenses (or adjust focal length) to the widest that you have. A true -angle, judged from its visual effect is around 28mm or less. One of the uses for a wide-angle lens is to be able to cover a large subject area in one shot, this this exercise is to concentrate using it close to people and try to achieve a sense of putting the viewer right inside the situation.</em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
On Sunday, my daughter was clearly concentrating very hard on her homework and so I nipped back indoors and grabbed my camera, she was showing some serious expression on her face and I wanted to show this. My lens is 24-105mm and therefore I used this at the smallest 24mm, this meant that I had to get up close and personal, but she didn't seem to mind.<br />

Still using the camera on auto, I shot the following images of her. This was the closest I could get with the 24mm and auto focusing would let me. The weather was warm and sunny, however in the summer house we had lots of shade which gave me the perfect chance to take these pictures.</div>

I was lucky to work with my daughter as she is fairly tolerant of me and my camera, however, I could imagine that it would/may be quite awkward working with a complete stranger at this distance. A lot of direction and easy chat would definitely be required to relax both parties involved to enable relaxed images.</div>

<strong><em>Depending on your choice of lens - select a medium long focal length, ideally between 80mm - 200mm full frame equivalent (if you have happen to have a more pronounced telephoto lens 300mm-400mm) you might find it more interesting to try this for extreme focal length.</em></strong><br />

On Sunday afternoon, the weather was warm and sunny and the children were busy in the garden. My son was playing happily with his action man and string, a took a few images of him using my 55mm-250mm lens attached. I stood at the bottom end of the garden just out of view and took these images whilst he played. He was completely unaware at one point that I was there.<br />

he is very much involved in what he is doing and completely oblivious that I was taking his picture again. I found this exercise relatively easy, however use of a tripod would have benefited with the length of lens, although I think they are ok. It was easy to stand back and take these pictures, but then again it was easy because I knew the subject.</div>

There were several beach volleyball courts there also and I happened to ask the players if they minded me taking photos whilst they played (I felt this particularly necessary as the park was also full of children and I didn't want parents thinking I was strange taking photos unnecessarily). </div> <div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both"> </div> <div class="separator" style="text-align: justify; clear: both">I took lots of photos whilst they played and hopefully I managed to catch some good action.

I headed for my local town and parked up. It was unusually quiet, but I decided to shoot anyway for the experience. I walked around a little first before getting my camera out. I was looking at situations that people were in. People in groups, pairs and on their on. I was nervous about the shoot a little and as I started shooting, it felt wrong to be invading peoples privacy. Some people looked at me, however, the majority were completely oblivious to me even being there. </div> <div style="text-align: justify"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify">I didn't stay in the same place long and kept looking around me, I am not sure if it was to see if there was an opportunity around or to check in case someone was about to tap me on the shoulder and ask me "what the hell I was doing" (it wouldn't be the first time I've been moved on for taking pictures) as I always seem to get myself in trouble when out with my camera.

<a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-TICHIX137FcFlBVTVpam9CMTg/edit">Tutor feedback - People and Place - Assignment 1</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having recently received the feedback from my new tutor for assignment 1, I have now had time to revisit it and go over some the comments. I have realised that he has in fact been looking at some of the work that I have been working on towards assignment 2, therefore I have temporarily reverted this work back to draft, until such time that I can publish it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initial comments from him were that he was a harsh, but fair marker (initially I thought OMG help!), but actually over the comments have been ok and I have revisited Assignment 1 and done a little editing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For other assignments I have left this to the end until such time has arisen to submit the work for formal assessment, but this time I have decided that it would be best if I could do it when the feedback is returned and fresh in my mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My tutor has also provided me with a very lengthy list of other photographers to look at and critique their work - so it looks like I'm going to be very busy researching these people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More over, I have recently purchased I book that was on the student suggested reading list, I have been trying to obtain a copy from the local library - but have found that their copies have been lost or stolen (which is quite sad really !) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book is Train your gaze - it arrived today and I look forward to having a read through it.</div>

Not sure what to expect from these books, however I am looking at them due to the nature of the second assignment which is street related and also to broaden my knowledge of different photographers.</div>

I decided not to remove the shadow from this image, however I have cleaned up the area to the left to make it look better, this is something that I missed on initial inspection.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">I decided to change image 3 – as the crop was wrong and it didn’t look right as a portrait image either. However the image that I have chosen was cropped to square as this fits the upper torso – Im not sure if this is right or wrong, but it looks acceptable to me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Its been raining quite a lot recently and I took this shot whilst out and about. It has since been added to the BBC South Today weather gallery which I was really pleased about. So I thought I would share this news with you :-)<br />

If you haven’t, it is usually a reference to the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. But for the purpose of this article I’m going to use it synonymously with any prime 50mm lens.<br />
<h3>
What’s the best “next” lens to buy?</h3>
I get asked all the time by my students about what lens they should buy next after the basic kit lens that came with the camera. I almost always recommend picking up a simple 50mm prime lens. Let’s look at some reasons . . .<br />
<h2>
Reasons why this lens should be in your bag</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>GREAT FOR LOW LOW PHOTOGRAPHY</strong> - with the wide aperture of f1.8, especially going from your typical kit lens which is usually f5.6, this lens gives you 3 stops or EIGHT times (2x2x2) more light coming through the lens opening. This allows you to use either a faster shutter speed and avoid camera shake, or a lower ISO and avoid the noise you get from higher ISOs, or a combination of both. <div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_49484" style="width: 394px;">
<img alt="DandC-Feb2013-0094-600px" class=" wp-image-49484 " height="576" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DandC-Feb2013-0094-600px.jpg" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px 0px;" width="384" /> <div class="wp-caption-text">
Shot at ISO 1600, 1/50th a f1.8. Without the 1.8 aperture I would have needed a much slower shutter speed or even higher ISO.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li><strong>GREAT VALUE, LOW COST</strong> - at a price range of $100-200 for most popular brands this lens’ low price tag makes it affordable as a good first lens investment</li>
<li><strong>LIGHT WEIGHT</strong> - ranging from only 4.3 oz to 6 oz (Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Sony in order of lightest to heaviest) there is no reason to leave this lens at home. That means even when you don’t want to haul a whole bag full of stuff around, you can easily grab your camera and the Nifty Fifty and go. No excuses!</li>
<li><strong>KILLER BOKEH</strong> - prime lenses typically produce nicer <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/deciphering-photo-jargon-learn-to-speak-photographer">bokeh</a> (how the lens renders out of focus areas) than most zooms, and with the f1.8 aperture you can make some really nice bokeh. Bright lights, off in the background, twinkle with this little lens! <img alt="DrinkClickDec2012-0021-600px" class="alignnone wp-image-49485" height="383" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DrinkClickDec2012-0021-600px.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;" width="540" /></li>
<li><strong>SUPER SHARPNESS</strong> - prime or fixed focal length lenses are usually inherently sharper than zoom lenses, partly due to there being less moving parts inside the lens, and less lens elements. You will also experience increased sharpness due to the wider aperture which allows, as I mentioned above, being able to shoot at faster shutter speeds and lower ISO. Being able to get a fast enough shutter speed to eliminate camera shake, or freeze a moving subject has a lot to do with <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/5-tips-to-for-getting-sharper-images" title="5 Tips for Getting Sharper Images">getting sharper images</a> as does minimizing noise.</li>
<li><strong>IT’S VERSATILE</strong> - the 50mm lens is a great street shooting lens, not too wide, not too long. On a cropped or APS-C sensor (any non full frame camera body) it is also a great portrait lens, just long enough to remove distortion from your subject’s face and flatter them a bit more, not so long you need to stand across the street.</li>
<li><strong>GREAT FOR TRAVELING </strong>- because it’s light weight, and is a fast lens (big aperture f1.8) the 50mm is a great addition to your bag for trips. Usually I take along a good wide zoom lens (my 17-35mm), a good long zoom (70-200mm) but I never forgot my little Nifty Fifty. Even if you have two kit lenses that cover that focal length, say an 18-55mm and a 55-200mm, the 50 f1.8 fills the bill for low light photograph that the other two can’t because of their aperture limitations. Plus it weighs practically nothing, you don’t even know it’s in there.<img alt="Latinfest2010-00333-600px" class="alignnone wp-image-49486" height="360" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Latinfest2010-00333-600px.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;" width="540" /></li>
<li><strong>HELPS MAKE YOU A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER</strong> - whoa, what?!<br /> I’ve been thinking a lot lately about “the good old days” when I all my lenses were prime or fixed focal length, and how we’ve come to be dependant on using zoom lenses for convenience. They absolutely have a place in photography especially if you’re photographing things like sports or weddings. However, I also think they can make us lazy as photographers. Instead of walking two feet to get the crop we want, we can just zoom in. But what if that angle of view two feet closer makes for a better image? We’ll never know because we have our feet planted, so use your feet and walk around your subject and see different views. I believe using a prime lens challenges you to think more about composition before you press the shutter, which often makes for better photos in the end. If you want more challenges, you might want to read my free ebook <a href="http://www.herviewphotography.com/dps">10 Challenges to help you take better photos without buying any new gear</a>.</li>

<h3>
Summary and action plan</h3>
Like I tell most of my students, I highly recommend you have a 50mm lens in your bag. If you can afford a fancier one go for the f1.4 or even the f1.2. However they do come with much bigger price tags, and are a lot heavier. So keep that mind if you go shopping for a 50.<br />
<strong>Here’s some of these 50mm lenses listed on Amazon:</strong><br />

Then think outside the zoom lens box and see what other prime lenses might be perfect for the kind of photography you do. I love my 85mm f1.8 as well, it’s great for portraits (I use a full frame camera so will be similar to the 50 on a cropped sensor). If you like macro work perhaps a 60mm macro or 100mm will do the trick for you. Either can also double as a nice portrait lens. Take on <a href="http://www.herviewphotography.com/dps">my 10 challenges</a> if you dare!<br />

The sun was out again briefly today and my daughter was home from school, so I decided to try the filtered light through the blinds again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After several attempts and much blinking on her behalf I am now thinking that the images that I have seen using this technique maybe using early morning sunlight when it is not very strong nor harsh or actually studio lighting with softbox, as I think this would not cause the squinting (but perhaps I'll have to try this to see what the outcome is)!</div>

They are not so good at creating the strip affect<br />

For thousands of years, artists have used self-portraiture as a means of perfecting their technique. From ancient cavemen, to the classical masters, to Salvador Dali in the 20th century, artists have looked to self-portraiture not only to discover new aspects of their artform, but also as a means of self-discovery.<br />
Today, photographers world-wide are stepping out from behind the camera, and placing themselves in front of the lens. Thanks to photo-sharing websites that display thousands of beautiful and unique self-portraits, many photographers are finding that not only is self-portraiture a wonderful, exhiliarating way to practice composition and lighting – amongst many other skills which are valuable to portrait photographers – it is an honest expression of self, and a way to share their experiences with other photographers.<br />
Each of the photographers whose work is featured in this post has their own unique way of expressing themselves in front of the camera. Some use natural light, while others use studio lighting. Some take a more natural approach to post-processing, whereas others take a more conceptual route. Whether you consider yourself an amatuer, or a full-blown artistic self-portrait photographer, these self-portraits are sure to inspire you to step in front of the lens. </div>

<strong>When it comes to famous images </strong><strong>the Mona Lisa</strong> by <strong>Leonardo Da Vinci</strong> is one of the most recognized in the world. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
When I visited the Lourve in Paris a couple of years ago I was stunned by the crowds of people gathering around this small image, pushing and shoving to get close and to take a picture of it (I got some great shots of the crowd). </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
The Mona Lisa has been at the centre of much debate and speculation over the years but why is it an image that intrigues people so much and what can we learn from it as photographers today? </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
While we live in a different time (the Mona Lisa was painted in the 1500′s) and use different technology – is there something in this famous image that we can be inspired by as image makers today? </div>
<h3 class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Lessons from the Mona Lisa for Photographers</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Today I want to explore some of the different aspect of the Mona Lisa and point out some things that Leonardo did in painting this image that I think we could take away as portrait photographers today.</div>
<span id="more-1922"></span> <br />
<h3 class="post-content">
Composition</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<img align="right" alt="mona-pyramid.png" height="428" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mona-pyramid.jpg" width="300" />While we look at the Mona Lisa today and see it’s composition as fairly standard and simple – for it’s time the composition of the Mona Lisa was ground breaking and has set new trends in painting which have been followed for centuries since.</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the compositional elements that the portrait is known for is Leonardo’s use of a pyramidal composition which shows the subject with a wider base at her arms and her hands forming the front corner and everything is in place to draw the eye up her body to her eyes and her infamous smile.</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"><em>Take Home Lessons for Today</em></span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>The same form of composition can work for us. While I wouldn’t dare suggest that this is the only or best way to set up a portrait shot – the pyramidal composition is one worth trying.</em></div>
<div class="post-content">
<h3 class="post-content">
The Pose</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Again – today we look at Mona Lisa’s pose and it seems fairly normal but for it’s day it was quite revolutionary as most portraits at the time were rigid, stiff and quite often profiles rather than front on. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
In contrast Mona Lisa is somewhat relaxed and at ease as she leans upon the arm of a chair with her hands crossed in a relaxed fashion. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
While she’s slightly turned to one side she sits open to the viewer and holding their eye. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Also unusual for the time was the fact that Leonardo went against the norm with the framing of this image and opted for a <strong>three quarter length pose</strong> rather than a full length one. In this way he filled the frame with his subject which lends itself to an intimate image and little room for distraction by her context. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One last aspect of the pose is that the Leonardo has positioned Mona Lisa’s eyes at the eye level of the one viewing the image. This brings a sense of intimacy to the image as we the viewer gaze directly into her eyes (there’s not a sense that we’re looking down on her or that she’s doing that to us). </div>

<div class="post-content">
<em>This classic pose works today. Fill your frame with your subject by using a three quarter length pose, relax your subject, have them turn their body slightly away from the camera and look directly at the camera. Give their hands something to lean on (they can look awkward otherwise). Most of all – attempt to relax your subject.</em></div>

<img alt="mona-background.png" height="430" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mona-background.jpg" style="float: right;" width="210" /><br />
Much has been written about the background of the Mona Lisa and we can draw out a few things from it for today. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One thing worth noting is that while paintings of the day generally had both the subject and background in sharp focus with lots of detail – the background of the Mona Lisa seems to ‘fade’ or become more blurred and out of focus the further from the subject it extends.</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
This was unusual for the time and is an effect that many portrait photographers use today by choosing a large Aperture to make for a blurred background that leaves the viewer of the image to focus upon the subject. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
While there is definitely points of interest in the background (there’s a lot of debate about whether the two sides of it ‘match’ and whether it’s supposed to be some kind of a fantasy/imaginary background) the colours in it are somewhat bland, muted and subtle – again leaving the focus upon Mona Lisa. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"><em>Take Home Lessons for Today</em></span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>There are different ways to use a background of a portrait. It can either be used to put your subject into context by showing their surrounds – or it can be used as a backdrop that is largely a blank canvas with few features so that your subject stands out.</em></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em></em> </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>In a sense Leonardo has done both with his background. It doesn’t take the focus away from the subject – yet the landscape behind her does have an element of mystery and interest to it. It’s also visually complementary to the subject with some of the shapes and colours almost mirroring colours and shapes in the subject’s clothing.</em></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em></em> </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>The lesson is to carefully consider your backgrounds – they can greatly enhance or detract from your portraits.</em></div>
<div class="post-content">
<h3 class="post-content">
Light</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the things that I like about the Mona Lisa is the way in which light falls upon the subject. Leonardo uses light to draw the eye of the viewer to the parts of the image that he wishes to be highlighted (the face and hands) and balances the image nicely by placing hands and face in positions that counter one another. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Leonardo also uses shadow (or a lack of light) to add depth and dimension to different aspects of the image – particularly the area around Mona Lisa’s neck and in the ripples on the dress on her arm.</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-content">
<img alt="light-1.jpg" height="356" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/light-1.jpg" width="522" /></div>

<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"><em>Take Home Lessons for Today</em></span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Think about how your subject is lit. Use it to draw the eye to key parts of your image but also use shadow to create depth and dimension to your shots.</em></div>
<div class="post-content">
<h3 class="post-content">
Clothing</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
We’ve talked about <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/what-clothes-should-subjects-wear-in-portrait-photography/">clothes and portraits</a> here at DPS before and Leonardo takes the approach of darker less obtrusive clothes in this image. Once again – this is a little different to other portraits of the time which are renowned for being bright. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
While her dress has quite a bit of detail (the lace work is quite fine and the detail in the folds on her arms are lovely) and it all is within keeping of the feel of the image – everything works to highlighting her face. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-content">
<img alt="mona-lisa-clothes.jpg" height="142" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mona-lisa-clothes1.jpg" width="549" /></div>
<div class="post-content">
</div>
<div class="post-content">
There’s also a lack of any kind of jewellery or any other kind of accessory to distract the viewer away from Mona Lisa’s face. </div>
<div class="post-content">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Leonardo obviously wants something about the woman herself to shine through in this image rather than anything else. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"><em>Take Home Lessons for Today</em></span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Clothes are another element that can be a real distraction in a portrait. Take a lesson from Leonardo and use clothes that fit with the subject and give them context – but which don’t distract your viewer.</em> </div>
<div class="post-content">
<h3 class="post-content">
Framing</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the things that I’d not noticed about the Mona Lisa before that i read about today is that on either side of the subject just under and to the side of each of her shoulders there is half of a round ball shape (see the images below on the left). </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
It is believed that what we see of currently of the image is actually slightly smaller than the original. Part of the image was lost when the image was re-framed at some point. What were the balls? </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
The most widely accepted theory is that in the original and full version of the painting two columns extend up from the balls on either side of Mona Lisa. She’s actually sitting on a balcony overlooking the view behind her. You can see the horizontal edge of the balcony extending between the two columns. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s how one artist reproduced the Mona Lisa with the extra columns. </div>
<div class="post-content">
<div align="center" class="post-content">
<img alt="mona-lisa-framing.jpg" height="351" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mona-lisa-framing.jpg" width="573" /></div>
<div class="post-content">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Whether or not the columns in the original looked exactly like this reproduction or not I’m not sure – but it seems that Leonardo used a technique that we call ‘<a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/framing-your-shots-photography-composition-technique/">framing</a>‘ in photography today. This technique is all about drawing the eye of the viewer of an image to your main subject. It also has the potential to add a little context to a portrait (with the columns it would be more obvious that Mona Lisa is sitting on a balcony). </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"><em>Take Home Lessons for Today</em></span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Learn to use techniques like framing to draw the eye of the viewer of your images to your main subject. Frames can be subtle and a natural part of the environment around your subject. Don’t use them in every shot but do keep your eye out for opportunities to include them to add another dimension to your portrait work.</em></div>
<h3 class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Mystery</h3>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
Who is the woman (its been argued that she is anyone from a female form of Leonardo himself through to the wife of the man who commissioned the image)? What is the background? Why is she smiling (or is she)? </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-content">
<img alt="mona-smile.png" height="128" src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mona-smile.jpg" width="418" /></div>
<div align="center" class="post-content">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
There’s something mysterious both about the subject herself (her look is both alluring and aloof) and the way that the image was painted (Leonardo used a technique called ‘blurring’ around the edges of the subject that was new for his time that give it a mysterious quality). This leaves the viewer of the image asking questions and entering into it with imagination. Leaving elements of the image open to interpretation can make an image impact it’s viewer. </div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Take Home Lessons for Today</span></div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the elements that takes a proficient image and makes it a great image is that it goes beyond being a record keeping exercise and becomes a story telling one.</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">
The Mona Lisa has drawn viewers to use their imagination and have conversation about it for centuries simply because it leaves parts of the story untold. This is something that can’t really be learned as a photographer – but is something that comes with experience.</div>

<ul>
<li>My daughter</li>
<li>My husband</li>
</ul>
I really like the idea of using my husband, as many magazines and ads are female orientated. I think I would like to explore the male world and actually get him to pose for me.<br />
<br />
<strong>Vary your images:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take a series of shots in one area, rather than swapping back and forth every few minutes - this will result in a more relaxing shoot for the model and the photographer. In this series, change your angles, close ups and wider shots, don't forget to direct the model, move around the model whilst he stays still.</div>
<br />
<strong>Choosing the right clothing:</strong><br />
Believe it or not, but this will help make the model look good or NOT!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If the model has a great body with ripped muscles, then he will look great in a tight t-shirt, if he doesn't then the clothes should not be too tight (we don't want him looking like Mr Muscle loving the jobs you hate)! Avoid really baggy clothes too as this will make a person look larger than they actually are. Another thing to think about is background, contrasting colours will look great, ie: a bright yellow top against blue, pastel shades against grey etc.</div>
<br />
<strong>Shyness:</strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men are naturally shyer than women, so make sure you talk to your model and help them feel relaxed, always talk to them about what you are doing and show them how if necessary!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doing a little research I found a website with simple posing techniques for men.<br />
<br />
So, let’s look at some sample poses for men.<br />
<br />
1. Very simple pose for a man’s portrait: An upper body shot with crossed arms. Two things to take care of: Shoulders should be pulled back a little, stomach muscles kept in check.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKuPryMRzYgI0TLwH_xWsKHJ7-pu-EKbRSrMoDEx-ux9czGvAprUClHLWbJ_oTlKDeV6QqabVEb7jfBXG0XwvvS39xHSujlaAm-wFLtsl-X06v0SU17ld3Nd4CgPzjSFMLuE6NDY7n9SQ/s1600/posing-men-subjects01%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKuPryMRzYgI0TLwH_xWsKHJ7-pu-EKbRSrMoDEx-ux9czGvAprUClHLWbJ_oTlKDeV6QqabVEb7jfBXG0XwvvS39xHSujlaAm-wFLtsl-X06v0SU17ld3Nd4CgPzjSFMLuE6NDY7n9SQ/s320/posing-men-subjects01%5B1%5D.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
2. Crossed arms works very well in full height shots as well. In addition, ask him to cross one leg in front of the other. But make sure the body weight is not supported equal on both legs, otherwise that would look just awkward!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J1N6KMWlZ_FpsgFrKRsBBPhG5y2XSK_Yvk6nwG6D-AWjiYp3wqOsgInlLJgsHuS3qHzRhoONcpiAUJIwQUCoNaBWQhzG5zZ0YFW_70jj9NhOv3B7uCEKkocykjl3yBSeCdGTCa3dsq0/s1600/posing-men-subjects02%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J1N6KMWlZ_FpsgFrKRsBBPhG5y2XSK_Yvk6nwG6D-AWjiYp3wqOsgInlLJgsHuS3qHzRhoONcpiAUJIwQUCoNaBWQhzG5zZ0YFW_70jj9NhOv3B7uCEKkocykjl3yBSeCdGTCa3dsq0/s320/posing-men-subjects02%5B1%5D.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
3. A recurring question from your subject might be “Where shall I put my hands?” The solutions is actually quite simple. There are four places to keep in mind (mixed in any combination utilizing both hands). <strong><em>#1. Loosely by the side. #2. On the hips. #3. In the pockets. #4. Both hands crossed on the chest</em></strong>. And in addition – hands should always be relaxed, which means no muscle pressure, except you are photographing a bodybuilder <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV-abJvfzRFR3GMor4GstmZNjCAl6kygMhelim_zvLnfs9K1yzvqCzkworml3X3_4yK0n0iEVhqsN_1dSnzn_6gm7Oa4sbB_dh3b282D4iKlsp-_3RuNtcCIUzxL3ndAGYAOQ-Qwv2H0/s1600/posing-men-subjects03%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV-abJvfzRFR3GMor4GstmZNjCAl6kygMhelim_zvLnfs9K1yzvqCzkworml3X3_4yK0n0iEVhqsN_1dSnzn_6gm7Oa4sbB_dh3b282D4iKlsp-_3RuNtcCIUzxL3ndAGYAOQ-Qwv2H0/s320/posing-men-subjects03%5B1%5D.png" width="320" /></a></div>

4. A casual pose for an uprightly standing man. Men indeed have a problem with placing their hands, by keeping them fully or partly in the side pockets, you have a sure way to achieve natural and relaxed pose.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. Leaning against a wall is just another variant for upright posing<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8. The sideways way of leaning against the same wall. Works very well for both casual and formal shots<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That should be at least something to use as a starting point. Again, remember that there are no absolutes, each sample pose might and should be adjusted depending on your shooting environment and scenario. There is no need to overdo anything. Actually, all you need for good people portraits is simplicity. Simple backgrounds, simple clothing, simple poses and natural expressions.<br />

<br />
<em><strong>Set up a portrait session, plan for your subject to adopt in turn at least 3 different basic positions (within these suggest different limb positions.</strong></em><br />
<br />
Various poses:-<br />
<br />
Sitting<br />
Standing<br />
Leaning<br />
Walking<br />
Squatting<br />
<br />
There are also variations in the way the limbs are positioned, the hands, twists and turns of the torso etc.<br />
<br />
Here I got my daughter to sit on the tree branch, she lifted on leg up and rest it on the tree, however, she put her head awkwardly against the tree, which I feel does not look so good.<br />

I don't think that 24mm is a particularly flattering focal length to use for a portrait image, and from the distance that I was sitting 105mm has cropped too much, but I like that the eyes are clear and bright. From what I have been reading between 50-80mm would be the preferred focal length for portrait images, and infact a lot of photographers are using a 50mm prime lens (perhaps I'll add that to my wish list)!</div>
