1 TIPS FOR GREAT SHOTS

2 PAY ATTENTION TO HEAD ROOM
When shooting a portrait, you usually do not need a lot of head room, unless you want to show something specific about your subject’s head. A better approach is to fill the frame with more of the person. This helps us to notice the background, and identify the subject. PAY ATTENTION TO HEAD ROOM

3 DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET IN CLOSE
Don’t be afraid to go in for an EXTREME close up to get a very personal shot. You can do this by standing extremely close to the subject, or keeping your distance and using the ZOOM. Don’t be afraid to crop out the head, and just get the face in the shot. DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET IN CLOSE

4 When shooting someone who is looking off frame, (looking away from the camera) lead the person by placing some space in front of her. As the viewer, we are interested in seeing what is in front of the subject, not behind them. LEAD YOUR SUBJECT

5 REMEMBER YOUR KNEES CAN BEND
Don’t be afraid to kneel down, or get on the floor to get a different angle on the subject. REMEMBER YOUR KNEES CAN BEND

6 WATCH THE BACKGROUND/ BACKLIGHTING
Make sure nothing is sticking out of their heads, or juxtaposed in a distracting way. Be careful not to shoot your subject in front of a brightly lit background, such as a window or the sun. WATCH THE BACKGROUND/ BACKLIGHTING
