This lecture is aimed at anybody who has an interested in photography, specifically portraiture. The first part of the lecture will be  focused on the nature of portraits, and in the second part (after a short break) participants will do some more practical work for those who have an interest in improving their own shooting. This part is aimed at beginner photographers and those who would like a refresher. The technical instruction refers mostly to traditional cameras, but all the principles apply equally to smart phone photography. Participants will learn how to shoot better portraits. The basics of compositions in portraits and basic lighting, including some flash will be covered.
