10 Tips of What Makes A Good Portrait

#1 make Your Model Smile, A smiling portrait is always more attractive. The smile makes the portrait brighter and also helps to lift the eyes slightly. #2 head Slightly Up, asking your model to raise her head slightly is a trick to avoid shadows and too many creases in the neck, especially when your subject is facing forward. #3 The Bias Position, The bias pose is very popular in photography. It allows the light to highlight one side of the face and marks the shadows on the other for a contrasting rendering, without completely erasing the left or right part of the subject. #4 Look Straight Into The Lens,  If your model is confident enough, gazing into the lens is a simple, yet effective pose, especially if you want to shoot tight portraits. #5 The Lying Position, A portrait is not limited to a standing position and a fixed subject. The lying position allows for obtaining a rather cinematic diving effect. #6 Poses In Motion, Movement is also a good tool to use for original poses. While walking, jumping, or stopping to turn around at the last minute, there are several alternatives that will highlight the movement of the hair and give a more dynamic feel to your images. #7 Arms crossed, The crossed arms position is a classic for a more serious portrait, for subjects who have trouble relaxing their shoulders, or for those who are unsure of what to do with their arms. #8 Spontaneous Poses, As a photographer, you are the main guide to obtain the desired result, but sometimes you have to trust your model and not be too directive in letting him choose his posture, the expression he wants to convey, and trust him. #9 The Sitting Position, The sitting position is a common position for taking portraits. However, we must ensure the correct positioning of the legs and arms so that they do not disturb the image, since it is the gaze of the model that interests us. #10 Get Out Of Cliché Poses, Finding original poses and getting out of clichés is the best way to improve your portraits. All of the above examples are classics and staple essentials, but feel free to go outside to perfect yourself.
