Portrait photo technique part 1

• How do I make someone smile at the camera? 

Make sure your photo subject in good condition or mood to be photographed. Suppose you want to make a photograph of a child, then make sure that he is not in a state tired or hungry. Also make sure your photo subject is not in a state tired of having to make the face and eyes become more tense. You can amemberikan little time to rest or enjoy a light meal before the session starts shooting. By giving the breaks break while enjoying a snack, you'll build a better interaction with the subject of your photo. Be friendly and talk with him which will help him more relaxed. But do not make the situation funny until the subject is to laugh uproariously. Because this can make the eyes became crossed, and create blood flow in the face more. Try taking pictures with facial expressions vary. The more images you create, the more chance to obtain the best photographs that display the character that person. 

• How to handle people who use glasses? 

Glasses can cause reflection of light and create glare. Therefore you can see from the viewfinder or LCD screen on your camera, whether there is a disturbing reflection of light. If it turns out there is the reflection of light on the subject of your glasses photos, you can ask him to move his head slowly to the reflection of light is lost from the midpoint of his eyes. You also can ask for slightly bowed his head, but be careful to avoid creases in the chin if too down. 

• What about clothing and appearance? 

If you will take a group picture, note also the color of clothing. Use the colors pleasing to the eye. Or you can also ask them to use the same color. If you will take a photo of someone, the color of clothing is also worth noting. If you want to photograph somebody big, then she should use a dark colored clothing. Conversely, if the subject you are underweight or small, then ask him to use light-colored clothing. Then make sure the clothes do not wrinkle when photographed. If the person is using a necktie, consider whether his tie is straight and neat. Then make sure his hair was neat. Your eyes may not be able to notice any hairs that came out and disturbing, but the camera lens would catch him clearly. Then if you'll take a picture of a woman, you can pay attention to the make-up used was appropriate.
