... Read morePortraits are more than just photos; they tell a story and capture a moment. To take great portraits, consider the lighting and background. Natural light often yields the best results. Experiment with angles to add interest to your photos. Should you use props? Yes! They can enhance the subject and the overall composition of the image. Don't forget about expressions—candid moments often resonate more with viewers, so try to capture genuine emotions. Of course, editing plays a crucial role; utilize tools to bring out the best in your shots. Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep refining your skills and experimenting with different styles for the best results. Enjoy your journey in portrait photography! If you're ready to step up your selfie game, look into advanced techniques like depth of field and focus adjustments. Apps can also enhance your selfies and make sharing easy. Join photography forums or social media groups to connect with other photography enthusiasts and share your work for feedback. The community can be a great resource for learning and inspiration!

Best Camera Settings for Portraits
One thing I LOVE about my 50mm lens is the ability to bring my f stop all the way down to f 1.4! Remember it’s easy to bring it down that low but adjust your shutter to accommodate it. These examples were taken on a super sunny day, so my shutter speed was super fast. And ISO super low. What

Do you guys think I have a style? What do you think it'd be? I like sketchy cartoony styles but i also like soft stylized realistic ones too... i tried to do 100 faces in 100 days but kinda forgot about them at some point. I'm slowly starting up again though! #vulnerability #storytime
