How to Improve your Portraits
- Use at least a 6 megapixel camera
- Always shoot in FINE mode and save images in Jpeg or RAW if you have a DSLR
- Ask your subject to wear solid colors. Partens can be distractive
- Shoot against a white background
- Lighting is very important, shoot in the room with lots of natural light coming from large windows (use them as softboxes)
- Edit later, spend all your time shooting and trying to get the best result with as little post processing as you can
- Do not move
- Experiment with different poses and emotions, be creative
- Shoot as much as possible. The more images you produce, the better chances are for good pictures.
- For better quality of lighting use a bounce card.
