There are five tips to improve your portrait photography.

There are many small, simple steps that you can take to improve your portrait photography. As a portrait photographer, I use many techniques that I have developed over the years to create images that are dynamic, dramatic, and have interest for the viewer. In my latest video, I discuss five tips that work both in and out of the studio, and that anyone, no matter where they are in their journey as a portrait artist, can do it. Part of my discussion centers around what focal length to use, and my choices for portrait lens sometimes defy what people think is the correct choice. I talk about something that seems simple, but that can have a huge impact on your portraits, by having your subject look away from the camera. The direction and angle of their face and their eye placement can result in portraits with a wide array of moods. There are more tips in the video and a bonus tip at the end.
