TO MAKE A PORTRAIT.
Place th e sitter in a chair, partly facing th e light, and turn
the face slightly toward th e camera (which should be at the
height of an ordinary t ab l e). Centre im age in the finder. For
a bust picture the camera should be 6 feet from the figure; for
a three-quarter figure 8 feet and for a full figure 10 feet. Th e
background should form a contrast with the sitter.
NOTE. In making portraits, where the subj ect is less than 6 feet f rom the
came r a, use the smallest stop and time accordingly. ( See page II.) Do n ot
try to photograph objects nea.rer than 5 feet. As a general rule, use the mid-
dle stop for portraits .
