Portrait Strategies

My Five Favorite Portrait Strategies:

Obscure Part of Your Subject: Frame parts of the body that you want to be focused in the picture using a piece of cloth or clothing.

Introduce a Prop: Add a prop to add a story to the photo, but don’t detract attention to the main subject.

Break the Rules of Composition: Playing around with rule of thirds by putting things at the edge of the shot or dead center can make an interesting photo.

Experiment with Lighting: Playing with light and light exposure can create different moods for the subject.

Shoot Candidly: Take photos of the person actually doing something will almost always look better than a posed shot of someone doing something.
