Portrait in photojournalism

This is an impromptu piece without much of a planning. I would expect you spend more time planning who to shoot and where, when you do your portrait assignment.

Accounting sophomore Mariann Shenouda from Egypt writes "I love Egypt" at the mall area between Loftin and chemistry and geology Monday noon during chalk day organized by the society of professional journalist. Shenouda said that although freedom of speech is written down as a law in Egypt, people in Egypt do not get to exercise that right as freely as here in the United States.

 Candid portrait: Showing the subject in action in a documentary way.

 Posed portrait: Purposely set-up a direct eye-contact photo of the subject with the related environmental element to summarize who the person is and what s/he does.

 Mug shot: A basic head and shoulder photo to identify how the person looks like.

By the way,  I double checked with the school. Oct. 10 is not a holiday. Sorry Christopher Columbus. You did not brought us a holiday. Assignment and quiz is going to be on Monday.
