RE: How hard it is making a nice photo when you aren't photogenic

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

First of all you are beautiful. You just need to know a few basic tips when taking photos.

These tips, will improve your photos:

Golden ratio is pretty simpel way to improve your photos, the easiest way is try to have the main subject of your photo fill out 1/3 of the picture.

Choose a interesting background. I like the photo with the mountain.

If you look at portrait photography most of the backgrounds are blur. With that, the viewer get forced too look at the model. With a dslr it's pretty simple trick to make you photos look great.

Try to compose your photos. Try different angel, all pictures of you were taken from eye level and you are always standing in the middle. Try that all the main focus is at the model.

If I were the photograph, I would let stand my model near the field, the mountains as a background. I would try, that only the Field, the mountain and the model is on the Picture.

Sort:  

also it is important to point two other things:

  1. lighting is very important. as @corinnestokes showed you with post processing of shadows.
  2. most models have a make up artists work on them for at least 30 minutes before a shoot.

thanks a lot for your tips :)
i see, here is a very very friendly and helpful community :) thanks again!

to the thing with the make up- well after 30 minutes with a make up Artist it's not me anymore in the end xD

Thank you, next time i'll try that :)!
