In this Photowalk session, we will investigate using the landscape as the background for an “environmental portrait” that perhaps gives some insight into the personality, hobbies or lifestyle of the subject. We’ll explore a ‘keep it simple’ strategy to arrange visual elements. In the case of a portrait in nature, we need a complementary centre of interest so as not to distract but rather to compliment and give context to the subject.
Composition becomes very important as an aid to telling a subject's story. Composition is a massive topic in art and design. So we will just explore some of the rules of composition and share tips and common pitfalls in developing a strong design for your photos. We’ll also have a bit of fun deliberately breaking some of the common rules of composition.

Also staying on thing photographic, MAPh – Museum of Australian Photography (formerly
mga) is holding their 100 faces exhibition until 29th May. It’s a great
opportunity to study a range of portraiture.
