Introduction:
The topic i chose to research was "How to Become an Expert at Portrait Photography." The reason it chose this topic is because I love photography and i like taking pictures of people. I also like it because you can have memories, you can capture the moment, and its fun(: . Photography has been around for a long time. There's many things you need to know to be a good photographer. Some of the things you need to know is the different angles, you have to know your lighting, you have to make the person your taking pictures of comfortable, you have to know your camera, your lens, and you have to be creative.
