Last night I helped out with the portraiture class over at CPS.  Nancy gave her lecture and we had a portrait setup using a backdrop and my DIY spyderlight.  We showed the students how to use a reflector and some posing techniques.  A few tips for better portraits:

• Get closer
• Watch  your background, try to eliminate distracting elements
• Be careful to focus on the eyes, particularly the closest one

Here are a few shots I took of students that were posing as models.
