Start Planning

A good tip for taking a portrait is you can sometimes add blur to make the picture be blurry but you are still able to see what is happening in the photo.

Framing the portrait can make the inject really stand out like using a blanket or bars to only show a certain part of the subject.

You can also add some movement in the photo to make the subject stand out more.

 I really liked this photo because the way the camera is facing and taking the subject it is really cool and draw you eye to the center of the net and the persons face at the end

I like how in this photo you can read and see the sign in the background but the background is blurred   to where the women in the front is standing out more. 

I like the background of this picture and how it really makes the girl stand out and look more vibrant.

I like in this one how the brick wall makes you eye lead directly towards the man at the end. 

in this photo because it is in black and white it really adds more a dramatic feel to the photo and how the photo is up close and the subject is not directly in the middle of the picture. 

again this picture is in black and white so it is more dramatic and also the girls eyes are not looking directly at the camera the are looking above. 

For my portrait i will shoot a picture of my sister and i want it to be outside in the nature where the background is blurred or of her inside and the photo will be black and white where you could get a feel of her natural habitat. I and going to do a shoulders up lind of photo and i don't want her looking at the camera i want her looking to the side of it or above it and i don't want her smiling either i want to capture her natural beauty and her true face.  Because the photos might be outside the camera will need to be set on a lower iso and a faster shutter speed but if it is inside the iso will be higher and the shutter speed will be lower and then i will photoshop the photo to make it back and white.
