The Key to Great Portrait Photography – Putting you at your ease

Portrait photography is more than just capturing a person's likeness; it's about capturing their essence. A great portrait can convey a myriad of emotions, from joy and confidence to vulnerability and introspection. To achieve this, I must must first establish a rapport and create a comfortable environment. 

Relaxation is Key

When a subject is relaxed, their natural beauty shines through. They're less likely to tense up or force a smile, resulting in more authentic and captivating portraits. A relaxed subject is also more open to direction and experimentation, allowing the photographer to capture a wider range of expressions and poses.

So how do I put my subjects at ease

I always start by introducing myself and explaining the process in simple terms.

I find casual conversation helps to break the ice and put everyone at ease; and here a little humour can go a long way in easing tension and creating a positive atmosphere.

It’s important not to rush the process.  It’s important to me to take time and let each person adjust to the situation.

I always give clear, simple instructions, to avoid confusion.

In this way, what might be an intimidating process, can become easy, perhaps even enjoyable.

Choose Your Background

Almost anything can work as the background to a portrait, provided that background is properly blurred to emphasis the person in the photo. The only thing that matters is consistency; if you are having several people photographed, make sure the background is the same, as this looks great on your website.
