Give Sensation Factor To your Portrait Photography

All the photographers who are willing to make it big in the photography field, look around for the same factor. They all wish to add that sensation factor to their portrait photography, which can make their photograph unique, mesmerizing, apart from the normal class. Let's have a look at simple steps which can help you in this task.

Try to change the perspective: Generally photographers take portraits, be it of family, business, by keeping the camera at the eye level. Try changing the perspective, by changing the angle from which you are clicking. Never fear from experimenting with your composition.

Try to play with your subject's eyes: They say that beauty resides in a person's eyes. So, what are you waiting for? Add that sensation angle to your portrait, by focusing on your subject's eyes. This technique can be most useful when you are clicking children's portraits, as they have the most innocent and beautiful eyes. Moreover, most of the photographers ask their subjects to look directly into the camera, which cannot be an effective and interesting way to shoot photographs always.

Background: Background also plays an integral part when trying to add that beauty to your portrait, be it family portraits or business. Try to make your subject sit in front of a light-absorbing black velvet background. This will help in creating that exquisite black background for your portrait and can enable you to have focus on your subject's features.

Lightning: Take care to adjust the lightning when clicking indoors. Make efforts to position that lamp just slightly above your subject's head. Moreover, try to keep the lamp on the right side of your subject. This light setting will help you create sensational portrait photography. There are many light settings which can be used, so do not limit yourself and go actually wild with your creativity.

Help the subject move: Making your subject move and not just sitting at one placed can give you that stunning portrait photograph you have been looking for. Experiment with their clothing and the places where your subjects would not go normally. Add uniqueness to your portrait photographs. Capture their reaction to new and out of the mind places, things, persons. Put them in different kind of situations, like clothing them in an office attire and making them dance.

These tips are sure to help you get that sensation factor in your portraits.
