“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
Alfred Stieglitz
Portrait photography or portraiture is the process of capturing your subject in a photograph. While that clinical definition is factually correct, portrait photography goes way beyond just clicking pictures of people.
It’s about capturing a stunning and emotive portrait that evokes feelings in the viewers and captivates their attention.
Great portrait photography is as much about following the rules and guidelines as it is about breaking out of the mold.
Here are some tips to master portrait photography:
- Focus on the subject
- Find the location
- Getting the right pose
- Take candid shots
- Capture the feelings and emotion
