How To

How to Take Portrait Photos

Portraits are important because it shows who you really are. Portraits also tell your story. It's possible to have a favourite picture of yourself, but you are now looking for something different. It is easy to forget how much fun it can be to take pictures. So here are some tips to get started.

  1. You need to have enough lighting. It is best to take portraits in the morning, or late afternoon. Use flash only when there is not direct sunlight. This will wash out any details. Also, don't shoot at noon. There will be too much shadow.
  2. Use a tripod. A tripod will prevent you from seeing any movement when you hold the camera still. It will also prevent you from freezing action. And if you're going to use a flash, set up your shot first without it. After that, turn off the flash again and start over.
  3. Shoot close-ups. Closeups allow you to show detail. If you have a bad eye, closeups can appear fake. Look closely at people's eyes, mouths, and noses. Are you noticing anything odd? Is this someone who wears glasses? Are there freckles on the nose of someone wearing glasses? These features add depth and dimension to an individual's appearance.
  4. Do not force smiles. Smiles are difficult. Most people smile naturally when they feel happy, but others don't. Forcing them to smile is a bad idea. You should think about what makes your laugh. Maybe it's something silly like a cat jumping through a hoop. You might even love the process of paint drying. Whatever it is, think about it until you find yourself laughing.
  5. Be creative. People are often afraid of being boring. Being boring isn't necessarily bad. Be creative and find ways to escape the norm. For example, you could ask someone to pose with his hands behind his back. You might also suggest that he wears a funny hat.
  6. Keep practicing. Keep practicing. You'll eventually become more skilled at capturing moments. As you improve, you'll notice more interesting things happening around you.
  7. Have fun. Shooting photos should be enjoyable. Enjoying the process will make you more likely to go back. Additionally, you will probably end up with some very cool photos.
  8. Your work should be shared. After you've learned how to take beautiful pictures, share them among your friends and family. Let them know why you took the photo. Tell them where you went. Let them know what your experience was.
  9. Be patient. Sometimes you just won't click. It happens to everyone. Don't worry. Keep moving on to another image.
