Our group was inspired by Miner White because of his beautiful creative photographs. He is somewhat different from others, he takes many pictures of nature. His pictures are really nice. They are something that you wouldn't always see around.

Steps On How To Take Portraits. Dec 2,2013

10 Tips.

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.

2. Play with Eye Contact

• It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. Most portraits have the subject looking down the lens – something that can create a real sense of connection between a subject and those viewing the image.

3. Break the Rules of Composition

• There are a lot of ‘rules’ out there when it comes to composition and I’ve always had a love hate relationship with them. My theory is that while they are useful to know and employ that they are also useful to know so you can purposely break them – as this can lead to eye catching results.

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.

5. Move Your Subject Out of their Comfort Zone

6. Shoot Candidly

7. Introduce a Prop

• Add a prop of some kind into your shots and you create another point of interest that can enhance your shot.

8. Focus Upon One Body Part – Get Close Up

• Get a lens with a long focal length attached to your camera – or get right in close so that you can just photograph a part of your subject. Photographing a person’s hands, eyes, mouth or even just their lower body… can leave a lot to the imagination of the viewer of an image.

9. Obscure Part of your Subject

• A variation on the idea of zooming in on one part of the body is to obscure parts of your portrait subject’s face or body. You can do this with clothing, objects, their hands or just by framing part of them out of the image.

10. Take a Series of Shots

• Switch your camera into ‘burst’ or ‘continuous shooting’ mode and fire off more than one shot at a time.
