- The participants answered questions, such as:
How can you avoid stereotypes in your portraits, for example in terms of body language, face expression, camera angle, and doing so in a natural way? - In what way and how much are portraits in social media “improved” with filters? – What effect do you think these changes have on the viewer in general? – What effect do you think it has on you? Are there any differences within your group?
