I learned that doing portraits takes a lot of patients and it is extremely helpful to have illustrations of the poses you want your subject to do. Another good technique to use when shooting portraits is to use a reflector because at can brighten up the subjects face and make their skin look more smooth. I didn't have to do too much to retouch any of the photographs but I did zoom in on the subjects face and use the blemish tool in Photoshop to mask some of the small imperfections that were present. The average wage of a portrait photographer is $40,280 and they are hired for just about any special occasion such as weddings, senior pictures, sports teams, new family photos, etc.

The food I photographed was crackers topped with Brie cheese with some topped with fresh rosemary and others with a cut tie wedge, but all covered with a drizzle of with raw local honey. I learned from the video we watched on food photography that it is important to depict fresh food and use the proper aperture to bring out the detail in the food. I learned how to use the reflectors and how to give my pictures a warm glow versus a colder more natural alternative. I learned that all major food business hire food photographers to advertise their food and it is a growing field of photography. I think I was successful with my food photography because the pictures came out the way I wanted.
