Everyone wants to look great in photos — and as a photographer, it’s your responsibility to make that happen 📸
In this video, I share simple yet powerful techniques to shoot attractive and professional-looking people photographs using composition, light, background, and posing.
🔹 In this video, you’ll learn:
01. How to use the Rule of Thirds and place the subject naturally
02. Why you should avoid placing people at the centre (and when it’s okay)
03. When centred composition works best – ID photos & corporate headshots
04. How much head space to leave (and when cropping works)
05. Common background mistakes to avoid (objects behind the head!)
06. How a 15-degree body tilt can make portraits more dynamic
07. How to blur the background for better subject separation
08. Using window light for natural-looking portraits
09. When and how to use fill-in flash to control harsh light
All the images shown are taken from the numbered folders matching each tip, so you can visually understand how these techniques work in real situations.
👉 These are just a few essential techniques.
You’ll learn many more practical, field-tested methods through my photography classes that will help you learn faster, better, and more confidently.
