Portraits can be visually strong and project strong feelings, emotions and sensations.

There are some basic points that can help you achieve a great portrait photograph without being a professional photographer.

1. Objects face: It is important to focus on the objects face, specifically the eyes. The eyes and facial expressions are the most important aspects in the photograph. The facial expressions and eyes tell the story of the person, their situation and feelings.  It is important to capture the exact expression that you want to share with the viewers.

2. Lighting: Portraits are better with natural light and good shades. Never position the person with the sun behind them. It is recommendable to have the sun on the side of the face to accentuate the facial features.

3. Shallow depth of field:  You will achieve a blurred background when you use a shallow depth of field. This will help you to focus the viewers attention in the subject rather than the background. A blurry background will help you give more dimension to your photograph as well.

We encourage you to take your camera and play with it. Go outdoors and take some portrait photos, you will see how fun it can be!

Remember that Subject Matter is one of the most important aspects of a good photograph. Taking a photo when an undesired object appears in the viewfinder can be very frustrating. As some of the greatest photographers have always said, do not be afraid to shoot, just shoot away and take care of the photo at a later time.

Most of the computer softwares provide a cropping tool. You can always crop out the undesired object and fix the photo to your choice.

Cropping a photo is a great tool, not only to remove undesired objects, but also to align your subject matter in the right position in the photo frame. 

We encourage you to download your photos to your computer, open them in a software editing tool and play with the crop tool. You will notice that the image within the photo changes drastically when the whole frame has been adjusted.
