How about improving your portraiture? There are many simple techniques that will better your portrait pictures, here are a few ideas to get you started:
One of the easiest digital photography tricks to apply would be to have the subject rotate their head a little. Quite a lot of beginner photographers, I was guilty of this as well, would just direct the model to say cheese and would immediately snap the photo. Since then I have changed my procedure, I see how their head is positioned and ask them to tilt it just slightly, so that it is angled to to the camera.
An alternative to the aforementioned technique is to ask the model twist their body. With this trick, their head can be facing straight ahead, because of this their body adds an angle to the picture. This will help the picture from looking flat.
Another great technique to employ is to take some time when you begin your photography session and talk to the subject. Dont go in and begin taking pictures. If you take some time with the subject and ask them a few questions, inquire about a few of their interests and ease any stress , your photographs will look less posed and a lot more natural.
Also, they may reveal an activity that they participate in and be able to put a prop with them in the picture that will capture more of their authentic self.
Some digital photography tricks can change the appearance of your model. Say you need your subject to look slimmer, shoot the picture from above them. If you take a photograph from below the model, they might seem larger.
Digital photography tricks dont have to be hard, try something as easy as modifying your angle. Move directly above the subject and take the photo viewing straight down. Zoom in to see only a portion of the face. Be inventive, that is what makes photography enjoyable. While looking at the subject and all the surroundings, think about what other photographers would do and invent a different way to portray the picture.
I trust that the above-mentioned digital photography tricks will sharpen your portraits at your photo shoot! Get out there and try them and, as always, say Cheese (Gouda, it's gooda) - 17944
