Portrait and self-portrait tips and writing your ideas

1. Alter Your Perspective
Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.

4. Experiment with Lighting
Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.
Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.

I will shoot my brother so that when I give him comands to move his head or something he will listen. I would shoot him some were light is comming in from an angle so that I could get and shadow in the background and that I would get a different point of view of him.

Portraits and self-portraits

I think that a good photo should have some of the comp. rules in it. Also the photo should not have to much of a busy background and that the main idea of the picture is clear. I would like to take portraits of someone else so that I could be creative with the person.
