Chapter 8 - Basic portrait tips




Hello guys.So today i wanna talk about tips for portrait shot.

What makes a powerful portrait.?

Opinion is divided on what makes a powerful portrait. Some photographers still prefer the traditional style of portraiture, with soft lighting and focus for a beautiful, dream-like feel. Others opt for a much more edgy look, with bold colors and harsh, high-contrast lighting.

Tips

1.Relaxing your subject-This one of the most important things to remember bout portrait photography on oreder to get your subject feel comfortable and can give natural look on your shots.Get know the subject at least 5 mins,

2.Focus on subject eyes!-As i told you guys earlier,Potrait=Focus on eyes!

3.A good model is your self-Try to get snap your on potrait shots,its fun to do!

4.Composing a Picture-Now that you have your subjects relaxed and looking in a way that will reflect their character, what should go in the frame? Should there be more than one subject? Where should the subject stand to balance the picture? How can patterns or lines be used to draw viewers to the subject?

Perfect lenses.?
Ok for me la,i'm prefer using my 50mm f/1.4 and 70mm-200mm.But you guys can use 85mm also good for potrait,sometime widelens can give the best picture too!

Happy trying.
