Improve your portraits part 1

Take better People Pictures 

Steps to improvement

Turn Your Camera!!!


Believe it or not, your camera does work on it’s side…

Most times people are upright/vertical so shoot them that way…

A horizontal portrait can work, however most times a vertical is what is called for in portrait photography...

 

 Horizontal formats work well when the subject is at rest or laying down…

 Rule of thirds

Sometimes it is as getty back to the basics and applying the most simple rules of composition...


Placing your subject off-centered creates an interesting, dynamic image...



Get Close



Watch out for that boring irrelevant space...
 
Know your subject... 90% of the time in portaiture the background is really not that important, shoot your subject...

Try Unusual angles, change persective


Tip your camera for a more dynamic look...


Don't just snap the photo from eye level...


Don't be afraid to get up high...


or, lay on the ground and get low...

More to come...
