Lesson

ph4-1. Dark skin portraits

When shooting subjects with dark skin, avoid white items in the picture.

The extreme contrast makes getting good exposure difficult.

Keep the background medium to dark. You’ll get better skin details.
​

Practice

ph4-1p. Dark Skin Portraits

Take three pictures of a person with dark skin. 
  1. Take a picture of the person against a light background. Preferably they are wearing light clothes.
  2. Take a picture of the person against a dark background, preferably wearing dark clothes.
  3. Take a picture of the person against middle-range colors, wearing middle-range clothes. 

Study your results, send it in with 25-75 words about your observations.
