Portraits

Depth of field.

Depth of field is a value that can and should be changed depending on the settings and artistic intent. The goal is to separate the subject from the surrounding environment.

Wide-angle lens.

If you have an interesting shooting location, a wide-angle lens will help you to reveal all the compositional possibilities and make the frame more interesting.

Vintage photo.

Vintage framing is the process of giving a modern digital photograph an old-fashioned look and feel. These digital filters mimic the effect of shooting on a film camera.

Color and black & white photographs.

The combination of color and desaturation gives the image a deeper meaning.

Poses.

Build poses for photos while standing at full height, with your feet diagonally. The more diagonal lines in the frame, the more “run” you give the viewer’s eyes. Such photos are more comfortable to look at.

“Glowing skin”.

Glowing skin effect in photography is a technique that makes facial skin smoother, more radiant, and attractive, hiding minor defects and wrinkles.

Lines in a portrait.

Lines in a portrait play a key role, directing the viewer’s gaze, creating a mood, and conveying the depth of space. The main types of lines are horizontal (calm), vertical (strength, height), diagonal (movement, dynamics), and curved (smoothness, depth). Using them as leading lines helps to highlight the main subject of the portrait, making it more expressive and interesting.

Emotions in photographs.

I think emotion is very important in a portrait. How a person looks in the frame, what is read on their face, sadness or joy, happiness or deep grief – this is important. Emotions create the picture.

One source of light.

With the help of one source of light, one can obtain perhaps the most artistically expressive portraits.

”Sleeping Beauty”

“Sleeping Beauty” is a very common story in European literature, widely known in the Middle Ages and the New Age, which is usually classified as a so-called wandering story, since its main features are found unchanged in the folklore of different countries.

A glamour portrait.

A glamour portrait is a professional photograph that emphasizes the beauty, attractiveness, and chic of the model, using luxurious elements: stylish clothing, perfect makeup, and an elegant setting. Such a portrait is intended to emphasise charm, femininity, and high status, creating an image full of glamour, luxury, and attractiveness, often using editing for a perfect result.
