10 working tips for stunning portraits

 

 

 

Since I shoot a lot of portraits, over my 15 years of experience, I’ve identified key mistakes that often negatively impact the final result.

 

Swipe through the photos and read 10 essential tips that will definitely help you improve your portrait photography!


Let’s get started!

 

1. Choose a theme or mood to create consistency in the series.
 

2.  Experiment with different compositions and framing.

 

 

 

3. Capture a variety of shots, including close-ups, mid-range, and wide angles.
 

 

4. Use soft, flattering lighting to enhance natural beauty.

 

 

 

5. The model doesn’t always have to look at the camera—try capturing her from the side or in candid moments.

 

6. Pay attention to styling, hair, and makeup for a polished look.

 

 

7. Vary backgrounds and settings while keeping a cohesive feel.

 

8. Use a shallow depth of field to make the subject stand out.

 

 

9. Encourage movement for dynamic and natural portraits.


 10. Edit the photos with a consistent color tone and style.
