From going to the duckpond, I learned that portraiture is technical and that a reflector does make a big difference. Well, the shot list Mrs. Moncure gave us helped me decide the poses. My group and I decided to just split the poses by row. It was very helpful because I didn't have to think of my own poses for the model. The only artistic choices I had to make were the background, the lighting, and the aperture. I used the reflector to create more light on the model. It was very useful, it created a flattering light to my model's face. To retouch the photo, in photoshop, I selected only my models face. From there, I did a surface blur which cleared the face with any blemishes. After some research, a portrait picture might be artistic, or it might be clinical, as part of a medical study. Frequently, portraits are commissioned for special occasions, such as weddings or school events. Portraits can serve many purposes, from usage on a personal Web site to display in the lobby of a business. The salary of a portrait photographer could range from $30,000 up to $68,000 depending on the position.
The average price for someone taking portraits ranges from $130 to $500 dollars depending on many factors.
