... 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!

Pencil Portraits Over the Years
My favorite medium is pencil. The sound, the level of detail, the shading. All of it has appealed to me since I was a kid. No matter what other art style I try, I always circle back to doing good ol’ pencil portraits. Here are some of my favorites over the years and I hope to post more soon. Thank
