Stunning Portraits


Stunning Portraits

"Obscure part of your subject"
“Obscure part of your subject” is the techniques when you use another object such as clothing or another body part such as hands and use it/them to block a part of the face. Zooming in can exclude parts from the frame as well.

"Alter the perspective"
Altering your perspective makes the photo more interesting than an eye-level shot. Taking a picture from above or below can give a different view of the subject and make it more interesting.

"Looking off camera"

"Looking off camera" is just what it sounds like. When the subject looks away from the lens, it gives the sense of candid, as though they didn't know the picture was being taken. Also, it makes the viewer wonder what the subject is looking at.

"Experiment with lighting"
This is when you play with light to give the photo a mood. You can use shadows to hide part of the subjects feature or use more light to give it light and free feeling.

"Shoot candidly"
Shooting candids can have that carefree feeling to them since they are less posed and set up. Candids can capture the setting, personality, action, etc. of the subject. These are often taken when the subject id unaware they are being photographed.
