Though they might seem minor, they can create a Massive difference in the effectiveness of the portraits! Who knows, maybe you'll start winning some of the people photo contests!<br /> <br /> Today's first tip involves photographing peoples' joints.<br /> <br /> No, I am not talking about marijuana. I'm talking about physical joints like wrists elbows, knees and so forth.<br /> <br /> One of our primary functions as a photographer is to make a portraitee (I believe I just invented a word) seem like they are having the best day EVER! You would like them appearing like a million bucks!<br /> <br /> Few of us can naturally fall under great poses - the ability to look comfortable in front of the camera is the reason why professional models make the big bucks.<br /> <br /> One of the fastest methods to ruin that &quot;best ever&quot; look is to make sure they are look stiff and uncomfortable. Our joints play an enormous factor in whether we look stiff and uncomfortable - or natural and flowing. This is a guideline for you...<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.madville.com/blogs/376261_what_is_portrait_photography_5_more_types Portrait Photographer Durham]<br /> <br /> Tip #1... Whether it can bend, let it bend!<br /> <br /> Bend the elbows, the knees, the wrists, tilt the top, the shoulders and so forth.<br /> <br /> For entertainment, try taking a photo with the person just standing there, shoulders straight on to the camera, feet together, knees straight and so forth.<br /> Stiff? You bet!<br /> <br /> Unless you are trying to shoot a photograph of a soldier standing around attention... this will NEVER be the very best pose!<br /> <br /> Now shoot the same subject with as many joints bent as possible. Twist the shoulders, tilt the head, slightly bend the elbows (not every the way to 90 degrees), put one foot behind another and rest the load on it (this alters the angle of the hips) and so forth...<br /> <br /> I think you will see an enormous improvement!<br /> <br /> Take a few minutes and look at portraits made by top photographers and I think you'll be challenged to find an unbent joint!<br /> <br /> Along those self same lines...<br /> <br /> Tip #2 is... If there's two of these, don't make them the same!<br /> <br /> With a couple of them, After all two hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders as well as on as well as on.<br /> <br /> Keep in mind, we've two ears and 2 eyes as well, so inside a portrait, tilt the top so that the eyes and ears aren't on a single level.<br /> <br /> Tilt shoulders for the similar reason!<br /> <br /> These two tips may seem a little obvious, but it's amazing how few hobbyist photographers focus on them. It's these little things that make the difference!
