know a few tips and tricks. Below, I share my 10 absolute <em>favorite </em>techniques for shooting portraits, including tips for <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/6-portrait-lighting-patterns-every-photographer-should-know/" target="_blank" aria-label="lighting (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">lighting</a>, <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/6-tips-for-perfect-composition-in-portrait-photography/" target="_blank" aria-label="composition (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">composition</a>, perspective, and much more.</p> <p>I’ve also included plenty of portrait photography examples (to get you inspired as we go along). Hopefully, by the time you’re done, you’ll be a more confident portrait photographer – and you’ll be excited to get out your camera and take some beautiful images of your own. </p> <p>Let’s dive right in.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="alter-your-perspective">1. Alter your perspective</h2> <p>Most portraits are taken on a level with your subject, where the camera lens aligns perfectly with the subject’s eyes. </p> <p>And while this is a good idea in <em>most </em>situations, if you want to spice things up, I recommend completely changing the angle you shoot from.</p> <p>For instance, you can get up high and shoot down on your subject from above:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198526" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:77.27%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="1159" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?resize=1500%2C1159&ssl=1" alt="stunning portrait high perspective" class="wp-image-198526" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?resize=300%2C232&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?resize=600%2C464&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?resize=768%2C593&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-1.jpg?resize=717%2C554&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span></figure></div> <p>Here, you have several different options. You can ask your subject to lie down on the ground and then simply point your camera downward (this works well when shooting in the studio or on clean ground, but it’s not something you can try when photographing in a lake!). You can also find a nice vantage point, like a balcony or even a roof, then ask your subject to look up. And if you’re <em>really </em>focused on getting that overhead shot, you can bring a step stool or ladder with you out into the field.</p> <p>Another great angle for portrait photography:</p> <p>Get down low and shoot up. You’ll make your subject appear strong and powerful (and you’ll make the viewer feel small):</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198527" style="width:400px"><span class="space" style="width:400px; padding-top:150%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1" alt="stunning portrait shot from low down" class="wp-image-198527" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?resize=717%2C1076&ssl=1 717w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-2.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></span></figure></div> <p>Obviously, different angles are more appropriate for certain image types; business executives will appreciate the power of a low-angle portrait, but they probably won’t want to be shot lying in the grass. So pay careful attention to your subject and surroundings, then pick angles that complement the scene. Make sense?</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="play-with-eye-contact">2. Play with eye contact</h2> <p>It’s <em>amazing </em>how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. </p> <p>Now, when you’re just starting out with portraits, I highly recommend you work on attaining perfect eye contact (with the eye in sharp focus). This looks great, and it can create a real sense of connection between a subject and those viewing the image.</p> <p>Once you become a more advanced portrait shooter, however, there are a few more techniques worth trying.</p> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770336820"></div></div><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="looking-off-camera">Looking off-camera</h3> <p>Ask your subject to focus on something outside the frame (a tree off to the left, a house off to the right, etc.). <span style="font-weight: normal;">This can create a feeling of candidness, plus it can create a little intrigue and interest; the viewer of the shot will wonder what the subject is looking at, which will cause them to engage further with the image.</span></p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198528" style="width:554px"><span class="space" style="width:554px; padding-top:108.3%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="554" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?resize=554%2C600&ssl=1" alt="subject looking off-camera" class="wp-image-198528" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?resize=554%2C600&ssl=1 554w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?resize=277%2C300&ssl=1 277w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?resize=768%2C832&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?resize=717%2C777&ssl=1 717w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-3.jpg?w=1385&ssl=1 1385w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px"></span></figure></div> <p><span style="font-weight: normal;">This intrigue is particularly strong when the subject is showing some kind of emotion. The viewer will ask, “What’s making them laugh?” and “What’s making them look surprised?” which can lead to interesting narratives and emotional connections.</span></p> <p>But be careful; <span style="font-weight: normal;">when you have a subject looking out of the frame, you’ll push the eye of the viewer to the edge of the image, and unless you’ve composed your shot carefully, you may take away from the main point of interest: your subject.</span></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="looking-within-the-frame">Looking within the frame </h3> <p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">You might also ask your subject to look at something within the frame. A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, or a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta; it can all work!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">See, this technique creates a second point of interest, as well as a relationship between your subject and another key element in the scene, which in turn helps create a story.</span></strong> (And in photography, stories are pretty much <em>always </em>a good thing!)</p> <p>Here, the mother is looking at her child, which highlights their relationship and emphasizes their emotional connection:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198529" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="woman looking at child stunning portrait" class="wp-image-198529" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-4.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="use-the-rules-of-portrait-composition-then-break-them">3. Use the rules of portrait composition, then break them</h2> <p>There are plenty of portrait photography composition rules (guidelines, really) out there, and I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with them. On the one hand, the rules are great for beginners; on the other hand, as you progress, the rules will start to hold you back. So in this section, I’ll start by offering a few useful rules, and then I’ll explain simple ways to break them.</p> <p>So here are a few compositional guidelines that’ll help you as you compose your portrait shots:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>The <a aria-label="rule of thirds (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">rule of thirds</a> urges you to position your subject a third of the way into the frame; it can often be helpful to put your portrait subject’s eyes along the top-third gridline of your image.</li> <li>The <a aria-label="rule of space (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-space-in-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">rule of space</a> advises you to position your subject looking <em>toward </em>empty space, rather than away from it. In other words, your subject should look toward the more distant frame edge.</li> <li><a aria-label="Triangular composition theory (opens in a new tab)" href="https://digital-photography-school.com/triangle-composition-in-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">Triangular composition theory</a> suggests that elements positioned in a triangle tend to look great. So you can arrange three subjects with their heads at points of a triangle, or you can arrange the subject’s head and the shoulders or arms in a triangular fashion.</li> </ul> <p>Then, as you advance in your skills, you’ll want to experiment with breaking these rules. For instance, placing your subject dead-center will violate the rule of thirds, but it can sometimes create a powerful image (especially when symmetry is involved):</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198530" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:78%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="1170" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?resize=1500%2C1170&ssl=1" alt="stunning portrait centered" class="wp-image-198530" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?resize=300%2C234&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?resize=600%2C468&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?resize=768%2C599&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-5.jpg?resize=717%2C559&ssl=1 717w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></span></figure></div> <p>And the rule of space, when broken, can create a level of mystery and tension:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198531" style="width:400px"><span class="space" style="width:400px; padding-top:150%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1" alt="portrait with no room to look into" class="wp-image-198531" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?resize=717%2C1076&ssl=1 717w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-6.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></span></figure></div> <p>So learn the photography rules, then learn to break them!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="experiment-with-lighting">4. Experiment with lighting</h2> <p>In portrait photography, lighting is <em>key</em>, and there are literally thousands of blog posts and video courses devoted to portrait lighting. </p> <p>But for now, I just recommend you learn the basics.</p> <p>For instance, soft light is generally best, which you can create with a <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/softbox/" target="_blank" aria-label="softbox (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">softbox</a> <em>or </em>you can find on a cloudy day (the <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/how-photograph-golden-hour/" target="_blank" aria-label="golden hours (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">golden hours</a> can work well, too).</p> <p>As for lighting direction: Front light is best avoided, because it tends to produce very flat, bland images. Instead, for good portraits, I’d recommend sidelight, which will add three dimensionality and create mood.

Move your subject out of their comfort zone</h2> <p>Unless you’re photographing professional models, your subjects will likely be a bit (or a lot!) uncomfortable in front of the camera. And an uncomfortable subject makes for uncomfortable photos.</p> <p>To get your subject more relaxed, start out with some “softball” shots. Photograph your subject just standing or sitting, use simple light setups, and don’t ask for anything out of the ordinary. Praise them after every few shots (even if the shots are bad).</p> <p>Then, as your subject begins to warm up and as you complete all the basic shots, ask them if you can create more <em>interesting </em>images. Don’t push them, of course – you don’t want to send them back to square one – but gently suggest that they mix things up a bit. For instance, you might ask them to jump, you might ask them to run, dance, make faces, climb trees, and more.</p> <p>By the way, don’t feel like these more experimental shots need to fit the tone of the shoot. Once you’ve nailed your standard shots, it’s okay to get a little creative. You can ask a family to make silly faces, or even ask a businessperson to jump off rocks, for example:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-198534" style="width:400px"><span class="space" style="width:400px; padding-top:150%"></span><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1" alt="man jumping" class="wp-image-198534" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?resize=717%2C1076&ssl=1 717w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ways-to-take-stunning-portraits-9.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></span></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="shoot-candidly">6.

The goal is to photograph the model with the props as an <em>accent</em>, not the other way around.
