free portraiture training

As I mentioned in a previous posting, I love portraits. People are so interesting, and their faces only scratch the surface. Mood, setting, lighting - among other things - affect the outcome, and I have found myself looking at Corbis Outline to get a sense of what photographers are producing these days. This is what I consider to be free training - studying images and imagining the shoot setup in order to understand the combination of elements that create a compelling portrait (of course, the subjects themselves are the make or break element).

Wow - I'm on a roll; three postings in one day!
