Portrait Photography – Composing a Portrait

Main point of interest

Every picture needs a main point of interest, and a portrait is usually the subject's eyes.

The main point of interest should not be at dead center in the frame: it is too static and symmetrical. Imagine a line through the eyes of the subject, and another to 90 ° during execution by the nose and chin to form a cross. The best position for this cross is slightly above the horizontal center of the frame, and slightly left or right of the vertical environment.

That cross is slightly to the left or right based on which direction the subject is looking. If they are looking to the left, there should be more history of the Left, if the cross is placed to the right of center. Conversely, if they seek to right, the cross should be placed to the left. This prevents the viewer's eye from being drawn out of the picture when it follows line of sight issues.

When the subject is directly facing the camera, thinking about the direction of the shoulders. Here, the objective should be to have a little more space in front of the subject rather than behind them. So if the right shoulder is closer to the camera, take the image so that their eyes are right of center.

Returning to our cross imagine a face, if it stands, the picture will appear very formal. It is often a good option for more mature subjects. The inclination of the cross on each side creates an axis diagonal to the characteristics, suggesting a movement of vitality, and it is often better for younger subjects.

Triangles

The composition is always enhanced by the creation of triangles. When composing a picture, try to visualize the contour of the fitting subject in a triangle.

Tall triangles in a vertical format suggests height and dignity. In a landscape, they refer to the delivery or control. Triangles in a small landscape imply stability. In a vertical format, they give an impression of weakness. Triangles inclined suggest forward movement, called back and they require alertness. Tilt too far in any direction, and stability will be lost if a second element stabilization is implemented. If someone looks like they are about to fall, it should tell you that the composition of the shot is wrong (eg A head widely considered one side may need a hand in support. The introduction of an arm bent at the elbow creates another triangle and thus restore stability).

Lines can be broken so long as the eye can easily skip them. Lines can also be imaginary or implied. For example, an eye viewers will always tend to follow the subject line of sight.

Ringtones

Our eyes are always more attracted to light colors as dark colors. Directional trends can be created by tones and by example, if two or more adjacent areas light, the eye travel to each other.

In a portrait, the face should be the main attraction, and therefore lighter. Any other light area (clothing, hands) should be moderate in tone Avoid strong reasons (eg clothing), because they can compete with the face of attention.

A portrait must be balanced sound. This means not having all the dark colors on one side and all the tones of the other (Unfortunately, this is what we see a typical wedding photo of the newlyweds!).

Backgrounds

I rarely reproduce the background of a photo reference, for good reasons, and choosing the background for a portrait is probably worthy of a dedicated section.

All I am saying here is that the simplest test is either a light or dark background. Dark backgrounds are often seen in Environment Classic portraits. Light backgrounds are currently in vogue for modern photography. For my purposes, a light background works best because it is is the contour of the object easy to see.

Color

The harmony of colors and behaviors are an important component of the composition. The colors convey mood and depth. Cool colors appear to decline (blue-green, blue, violet) while warm colors appear to advance (yellows. orange, red). Cool or neutral colors are more effective for the fund, while warm colors in clothing help provide a depth profile.

Color choices depend on the object. Blond and brunet have different requirements, works well with the blue first, while blue-greens/greens best fits the latter. Color dark suit older subjects while the bright colors marry well with the young subjects.

The key objective should be to choose colors that compliment and are friendly, color the subject.
