This week and next we are featuring a series of articles on portraits. Earlier today I shared some portraits of women for you to enjoy and get inspired by. So you can probably guess what the weekly photography challenge is, right?
You got it – portrait of a lady!
By Ryan Seyeau
Surely there’s a lovely lady in your life that deserves a great portrait of herself. Now’s the time to create one of her, maybe as a gift. Or perhaps if you are a lady, a self portrait is in order.
Use natural light or flash, whatever you prefer and are most comfortable using. Practice your lighting skills. Try shooting or processing in B&W. Experiment with some LR Presets or try out some new processing tips like adding a texture overlay.
Here are a few images to get you thinking, spark the ideas.
