Portraits

 

 

If you are taking portrait shots consider the following points.

76. For group portraits ensure an even spread of light. This will avoid one member of the group being over lit in comparison to the other group members.

77. For the shot of someone's head, create a more flattering chin line by getting the subject to hold a white sheet of paper below the chin, but out of shot.

78. If the subject is thinning on top, make sure the picture is taken from a slightly lower level to give the impression of a fuller head of hair.

79. Be careful with hats. They can cause unwanted shadows to appear on the subject's face.

80. Try a three-quarter view of the face. This can provide a more flattering view than full frontal.
