I'm a student at Ara currently doing my Bachelors degree in photography. I have a portraiture assignment due soon and I have chosen to take portraits of people in costume. I'm still looking for about 6 more people to photograph.

In return, I'll happily provide a print of the finished work and a copy of the file.

Is anyone interested in having their portrait done?
