portrait tips

.  - Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.
2. - If you can, hook up your camera directly to your computer (or, for extra-fancy bonus points, your TV) so you can see your pictures come up as you take ‘em. It’s a lot easier to iterate and to make gradual improvements to your photos that way.
3. - Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

 

 I like this environmental portrait because of the balance created by the birds in the background. It also has a really cool background with the mountains.

This is a good environmental portrait because the lighting is cool and the sky looks amazing.

 I really like this self portrait because the effect the photographer used to make it look like hes a ghost or something.

In this picture, i like the technique that the photographer used and reminds me of that self portrait that M.C.  Escher drew of his reflection on the mirror-like ball. 

 This is a good portrait of this guy because obviously he likes donuts and hes in a picture with what he loves.

This here is good portrait of Grant Hill because he's got the city behind him

In my portrait, i plan on getting a cool shot of me and my guitar. I don't know who I'll shoot or who will shoot me but i know what i want my portrait to be of

4. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)
5. Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”)
