Eh...i'm not sure if its e right place for this thread...but e portrait thread seem to be mostly on model shoots and stuff...
Anyway...i'm quite new to photography...e interest has been there for a long time but its only recently that i outgrew my entry level camera and recently bought a canon S2 IS
One of those areas i'm pretty interested in is portrait photography but i don't really know how exactly should i start and if i should have any equipment...budget wise i'm rather tight as in i cant afford any expensive lighting equipment...at least i get e impression that they are expensive...I also hear of PAs for some shoots and does it help? and how to be a PA?
Another thing i'm concerned about is....generally when talking about portrait photography e camera of choice tend to be SLRs so can my camera do it? what is it about SLRs that make it more suited for this kind of photography?
Thanks for any comments~!
