I'm going to start my first challenge: portraits!

Here are the rules:
- 1-3 people/shot as the subject (can be different people in each shot)
- Self portraits ok
- Try for one entry every day but do what you can - no pressure
- Try to comment on 5 entries above you minimum to keep things moving but not to make things too difficult. The commenting is one of the best parts of these challenges
- Any editing you like (including textures, multiple images, etc.) - This isn't a contest
- Pictures to be taken beginning 1/1 (or very close to it)
- Themes are welcome! For example: clowns, skiers, kids, drama, self, candids, street, etc. just let us know!
- C&C is the method here. If you are commenting, be constructive and not personal. If you are the photographer, be able to accept a critique for what it is and not take it personally.

Any takers?

Are there any rules? has to be taken after opening the challenge? advanced editing allowed? textures? How many entries?
Sorry for the questions, my first time to think about joining a side challenge, thanks,

Seems to be a cozy challenge. At least it will be easy to keep up with the commenting!

Portraits are not something I have ventured into yet and so far I love side challenges - please count me in. Maybe I will even do a self portrait to put on my profile page!

Some of my favorite portrait players are here!! I wanna play too! Just don't get upset if I don't make it all 30 days ok? LOL!! I start back to school Jan 15th but will do what I can when I can :)
12/22/2008 08:42:16 PM · #16
Awesome - welcome all! No pressure.
12/22/2008 09:08:24 PM · #17
Me!!! Me me me!!!

I have at least one portrait shoot lined up, and as payment I'll demand more portraits, lol!

Oh, and I'm getting a NEW LENS very soon (85mm f/1.8) which will definitely be motivation enough.

Any more room? If so, I'm in. I just became a member, so I can finally have a portfolio :).

One question - by 1-3 subjects, you mean 3 per image, right? I don't think I'd enjoy taking 31 portraits of the same three people...

I wouldn't complain too much, you got some good equipment for portraits. Just consider it 360 days to practice...
