Portretna fotografija je zelo izrazna in gledalcu sporoča določena čustva. Pomembno je, da je fotograf pozoren na vse posebnosti in poteze osebe, ki jo fotografira. Na kakšen način bomo osebo prikazali, temelji na zgodbi, ki jo želimo s fotografijo predstaviti. Prav zaradi tega ločimo veliko zvrsti portretne fotografije, ki so podrobneje predstavljene v nadaljevanju diplomskega dela. Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati področje portretne fotografije in se dotakniti tudi samih začetkov fotografiranja. V teoretičnem delu je najprej predstavljena fotografija na splošno, nato so predstavljeni različni elementi, ki so pomembni za nastanek portretne fotografije, najrazličnejši parametri na fotoaparatu, poudarjena pa je tudi pomembnost izbire objektiva in opisani so zunanji dejavniki ter ovire in soočenje z njimi samimi. V eksperimentalnem delu je predstavljenih 10 barvnih portretov prebivalcev Gambije, ki so nastali z zrcalnorefleksnim fotoaparatom Canon EOS 750D. Vsi so nastali ob naravni svetlobi, brez uporabe bliskavice. Skozi vse fotografije je mogoče opaziti določeno konsistentnost. Na fotografijah so starejši ljudje ali ljudje srednjih let, vsem pa je skupno prebivanje na podeželju. Pod vsakim portretom so zapisani parametri, ki so bili nastavljeni na fotoaparatu ob zajemu fotografije in krajši opis ter likovna analiza. Vse fotografije so bile dodatno urejene v programu Adobe Lightroom oz. Adobe Photoshop. Na splošno je bila pri vseh fotografijah potrebna korekcija svetlobe, presvetljenih tonov in barvne temperature. Ozadja na fotografijah so tudi dodatno zameglena, da subjekt bolj pritegne našo pozornost. Teoretično znanje je bilo osnova za raziskave pri eksperimentalnemu delu. Ugotovili smo, da je le-to še kako pomembno če želimo doseči vrhunske rezultate. Poleg teoretičnega znanja pa je zelo pomembna tudi iznajdljivost, saj v določenih situacijah nekaterih motečih dejavnikov ne moremo predvideti.

Abstract

Portrait photography is very expressive and conveys the viewer some emotions. It is important for the photographer to pay attention to all the special details and expressions of a person which he photographs. The way we chose to portrait a person is based on a story we want to tell with the photographs. Which is why we can distinguish different portrait photography styles, which are presented in more detail during this diploma thesis. The aim of the diploma thesis was to research the field of portrait photography as well as touch on the beginning of photography. The theoretical part starts with an explanation of photography in general and then it talks about different elements which are important for the creation of portrait photography, different camera parameters, and it focuses on the importance of lens selection as well as that, there are described the external factors and obstacles and how to deal with them. In the experimental part, there is the representation of 10 colored portraits of inhabitants of Gambia which were made with the digital single lens reflex camera Canon EOS 750D. All of them were created with natural light without the use of flash. Throughout all the pictures we can see a certain consistency. On the photos there are elderly or middle-aged people, what they all have in common is that they are all from the countryside. Under each portrait, there are all the camera settings including a short description and a visual analysis. All the pictures were additionally edited in Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. In general most of the pictures needed the light correction, tone correction, and correction of color temperature. The backgrounds of the pictures are additionally blurred so the subject draws more of our attention. The theoretical knowledge was the base for research in the experimental part We discovered that is very important if we want to achieve exceptional results. Besides the theoretical knowledge, it is also important to be resourceful, because in some situations exterior factors can't be foreseen.
