Intimate Photography: Capture Emotive Portraits

Intimate Photography: Capture Emotive Portraits

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the photo series you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Your Message Find a theme you’re interested in documenting. It can be something personal as family, or a social problem. The theme you’re most passionate about is the theme you should devote yourself to. Research and Review Your Inspirations Research the theme you'll be working on and identify keywords and/or key ideas. Revisit your photo books and the projects that inspire you visually. Be Open While Photographing Once you've decided who and where you'll photograph, prepare yourself to be open. The key to capturing emotional depth in your photographs is to be vulnerable and receptive.

Review, Edit, and Sequence Your Images Now play the role of the editor and review your images. See what works and what doesn't. Then, select 3 to 5 photographs you want to work on. Edit them, and try to sequence them to tell a story. Keep working hard and share your efforts with us. Don't forget that your project will continue to grow as you continue to photograph. As this happens, start thinking about who you want to share your work with and make connections! Who knows what will happen next? I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your results with us so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final photographs and the steps that have led you to them. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”

“ Final Project I want to thank you for buying my course and congratulate you for staying all this time with me. I hope to have inspired you and I hope I was able to offer you some good, valuable tips for your own career and personal projects. For the final project, you will develop a series of intimate portraits that are able to tell a story about the individuals that you chose to photograph, using either portraits or a documentary approach. Before you leave, I'd like to share with you a few tips that could be helpful for your personal project. First of all, find a message. Think of a topi...”
