Photography tips: Portrait photography

When making portraits, same as for shooting anything else, imagination is the most important but before that you must satisfy some rules, and as a first of them is to have a portrait lens on your SLR (DSLR) camera, or just by zooming you achieve bigger focal length. So when shooting portraits use the maximum zoom. Second thing to have in mind is the rule of third, and that means to put the important parts such as eyes, hands, head, on those dividing lines. Third important thing is to avoid chaotic backgrounds so the main point of interest of viewer will be only what you meant to be. As I said in black&white photography the photographed person must be brighter or darker than the background so it would have better contrast. Best portraits come out when people have some feeling almost written over their face, and also ti s recommended that they should be too pretty or too ugly, but even then, you can’t achieve anything without emotion. I hope you’ll have success in photographing portraits, but if you don’t, please ask me, maybe you’re doing something wrong. The minolta digital cameras have added perks like extra camera flash to offer as well. In contrast, casio digital cameras dont offer such features.
