Assignment: The Portrait

For Wednesday, October 17: You need to choose a newsworthy subject and shoot an environmental portrait of them. By "newsworthy" we mean someone who a newspaper audience would be interested in - such as a faculty member, administrator or student leader.

Think about where you'll be shooting them - choose an area that is relevant to them and the story being told. You have total control over this image - how they dress, how they pose, which direction they look, etc. Think about the when and where well in advance.

For Monday, October 15, bring in three clips of environmental portraits - not candids, but fully controlled situations. One good one, one bad and one you're curious about.
