Have you ever wanted to photograph a portrait of a friend or loved one? Professional photographer Erin Manning understands that it is easier said than done and knows how difficult it is to create an image that is a work of art and not just another snapshot. She begins by showing her student how to select and hang a background, giving tips that will help bring out the subject's personality. Next, she demonstrates how to light a subject so that you'll get the most out of their features and even shows some different ways to pose a subject. When Erin and her student head back to the studio, she shows how to remove any blemishes or imperfections that ended up in the final photo.
