The talk will cover:

Making Portraits of Strangers

Capturing standout location portraits is perhaps one of the most challenging areas of photography. However, a highly rewarding one when accomplished well. Found portraiture as opposed to studio work is really about thinking on your feet when working with lighting, background, pose, and message. The history of portrait photography follows our very move especially when we raise the camera to capture someone from another culture. Understanding how to represent someone faithfully but with photographic charm is a dance of interpersonal skills and technique.
