Post by: PWS-Staff on February 15, 2011, 11:05:58 PM
From "Portrait and Candid Photography," by Erin Manning

Find a person you consider interesting and take a series of portraits of this person, concentrating on capturing an authentic expression. The key to success here is to engage your subject."

The next assignment will be posted February 22. Remember, former assignments will always remain open and you may pick and choose from them going forward.

Have fun!

This assignment scared the heck out of me, I'm better at places and things than with people.  I may come back to it in a couple of months.  However, in the meantime...

Like the image but I think that the image would really "Pop" with a little more contrast. I use PS Curves or Levels. - Jim

[/quote]Yeah a little post editing would probably help,I noticed after that the background was a little over exposed.That is often the case with Candid photography,you dont always have time to tweak the settings.I was just going to take his pic and the little "brat"stuck his tongue out.
