In today’s Daily Critique Craig looks at a strong portrait and discusses the following: - fear of photographing “strangers”
- body language, gesture, and expression
- psychological impact of low to high camera position
- some classic focal lengths for street portraits
- simplifying by symmetrically framing the portrait subjects
- using the hats as possible props to bring the hands into a more expressive role in the portrait and to create variations of the portrait that are less formal
