Natural Light Portraiture - Post-assignment

We are done with the Natural Light assignment of this week. I tried to use the natural light of the day but I couldn't get really good pictures so I used more the light of the lamps. 

Still, I liked this assignment because I think that people can express a lot in a simple picture.

The most difficult part of this assignment was trying to get the best light. Sometimes I couldn't get enough light and it was kind of dark and sometimes I got that much light that the pictures were too bright. But I tried to manage my camera the best way I could and these are the pictures that I got.

These are my 3 best pictures. My favorite one is the one of my dog. I really like it because it is so natural and it looks like he is thinking in his own things. I like it also because the light is reflected on his body and his skin seems shiny and perfect.

Natural Light Portraiture - Pre-assignment

Our assignment for this week is Natural Light Portraiture. This is  a new challenge for us because this is our first assignment of taking pictures of people and it is new and inexperienced. But this is good too because we have the opportunity to learn how to do portraits of people.

For this assignment we should use the natural light of the day or another source of light, like a lamp. The person that we want to take a picture of should stand next to a window to get better the light on his body, face of whatever we want to photograph of.

Especially for natural light portraiture we have to know how to manage the ISO, up or down to get the the correct amount of light in our picture.

This is a new and fun assignment, so let's do it the best way we can.
