to the OP: Matthew, welcome to the forum, the best advice I can give is to post some pics of yours in the galleries and ask for critique. but when you do, expect real critique, not necessarily praise (unless said shots are rightfully deserving of praise), and take the suggestions and use them to help better your craft (I give this warning only because all too often people expect nothing but praise and adoration, and get discouraged if anyone mentions something that might be considered for improvement). there are some great photographers here with vast amounts of experience and knowledge willing to help.

Hi Matthew, welcome to the site. As Aloicious mentions, putting up your images and asking for critique is a good, proven way to get feedback. However, to get full value of learning, it helps if you structure your request a bit: something like:
* This is what I was trying to do
* This is how I went about it
* This is the result I got
* This is what I don't like about it or think can be improved.
* This is what I would like to have help with.

This approach allows us to get to what is relevant and important to YOU, and it helps us know what you've already tried, so we don't tell you to do stuff you already know how to do. There is a wide range of talent and experience on this forum, and the structured requests usually elicit very good feedback from the more knowledgeable participants.

"Photography project" covers a lot of ground. Can you be more specific?

At the top of the Beginner's Forum, there is a sticky for tutorials (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...299286-new-feature-photography-tutorials.html). You'll have to browse through it, but there are a number of articles and links to portrait photography, among many other topics. As you go though the various links, you may want to bookmark the ones of interest to you. In addition, several posters who do brilliant portrait photography, have revealed their equipment and lighting methods as part of their threads. Look up Trever1, Binga, as two posters who have some superb images.
