Still Photography - Portraits

• Understanding how still photography works will greatly help you understand how video works. Begin by watching this 4min video about how exposure works = Shutter speed, Aperture and ISO: What do these mean and how do cameras work?

• Use this interactive website to understand exposure and depth of field.

• Use this second interactive site to get more exposure and depth of field practice.

Simply use the Sony a6400 provided by you in the course to take a professional portrait photo of one of your class colleagues for them to use on their website for this class. The eyes in the photo must be crisply in focus and you must use a shallow depth of field to create a very blurry background.
