Tips For Improving Your Portrait Photography
Today, let us get a little into portrait photography... listed here are two quick strategies for you. Though they might seem minor, they can create a Massive difference within the effectiveness of the portraits! You never know, maybe you'll start winning some of those photo contests!
Today's first tip involves photographing peoples' joints.
No, I am not referring to marijuana. I'm talking about physical joints like wrists elbows, knees and so on.
Our primary functions like a photographer would be to create a portraitee (I think I simply invented a thing) seem like they are getting the best day EVER! You want them appearing like millions of bucks!
Few of us can naturally fall under great poses - a chance to look comfortable in front of the camera is why professional models result in the big bucks.
Among the fastest ways to ruin that "best ever" look would be to make them look stiff and uncomfortable. Our joints play an enormous element in whether we glance stiff and uncomfortable - or natural and flowing. This is a guideline for you personally...
Tip #1... If it can bend, allow it to bend!
Bend the elbows, the knees, the wrists, tilt the head, the shoulders and so on.
Just for fun, try going for a photo using the person just standing there, shoulders straight on to the camera, feet together, knees straight and so on. Stiff? You bet!
If you aren't attempting to shoot a photo of a soldier standing at attention... this will NEVER be the best pose!
Now shoot exactly the same subject with as numerous joints bent as possible. Twist the shoulders, tilt the top, slightly bend the elbows (not every the best way to 90 degrees), put one foot behind the other and rest the load on it (this alters the angle from the hips) and so forth...
I believe you will see an enormous improvement!
Take a couple of minutes and look at portraits made by top photographers and I think you'll be challenged to find an unbent joint!
Along those same lines...
Tip #2 is... If there's two of these, don't make sure they are exactly the same!
By having a couple of them, I am talking about two hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders as well as on as well as on.
Bear in mind, we have two ears and two eyes as well, so in a portrait, tilt the top so that the eyes and ears aren't on the same level.
Tilt shoulders for the similar reason!
These two tips might seem a bit obvious, but it is amazing how few hobbyist photographers pay attention to them. It's these little things which make the difference! For more information, check out the links within the resource box!
