Portrait Notes:
What did you learn that was new information? List at least 3
I learned that by focus on the eyes, shoot in landscape, and control aperture you can capture better portraits and portray the subject better.
What tips did you find the most useful?
I found the tip on how to reduce red eye helpful for taking better portraits.
-Portrait Photography Mistake No. 8: Red eye
One of the dangers of using the flash on your camera is that the light is very close to the lens and this can result in light from the flash being bounced back of your subject’s retina and into the camera causing the phenomena we know as red eye.
Anti-red eye flash settings that fire a pre-flash can help by closing your subjects irises down so that less light enters their eyes and bounces back, but the best cure is to move the flash away from the lens.
What tip would you like to try right now?
I would like to try and use the rule of third, more composition and shadowing in my portraits.

Sandy Skoglund-Radioactive Cats
As a child Sandy Skoglund was afraid of the wicked witch in Disney's Snow White; now Sandy sees how her work looks similar to Disney's animations. Her radioactive cat photo is set in a monochromatic all dull gray room with a nonchalant older couple not aware of the twenty plus green cats around them. Many critics exclaimed that this photo represented during the 1980s and how we (the general public) were obvious to nuclear war and radioactive issues at the time.
