Portrait Assignment

Just a quick reminder that the main goal of this assignment is to get you to work with diffuse, directional light... The easiest place to find that is by a window that does not have direct sunlight coming through.  The idea is to move in, drop the smiley approach found in all family pictures, position yourself and your model so that light falls over 3/4 of the face and so you are not looking into the light source.

This image from a student in this online class nailed it....

Light is coming in from a window to the left... her son was on the living room couch looking toward the light source...
