Photography is a highly
subtle sophisticated and unique art that has the ability to transform
an otherwise dull and boring setting into sounding exceptionally
beautiful. It has the power to bring out unspoken sentiments and
emotions through the pictures. This art has many styles, forms,
varieties but portrait photography happens to be the oldest one; not
to mention most challenging of them all too.
The main motive of any
San Francisco Bay Area portrait photographer would be to capture the
subject in a way that conveys certain ideas about his personality.
This type of photography doesn’t really rely on expensive equipment
or fancy set up. It is majorly about understanding the person’s
character and then working on bringing out some effects that explain
certain things about him via technical composition.
A truly engaging portrait
photo is more than just a snapshot. Since it is all about people, the
prerequisite for producing finest results doesn’t require one to be
technically brilliant. The ability to capture the subject’s essence
and his personality is what truly matters. A San Francisco Bay Area
portrait photographer should be able to express a story through his
work. One of the best tricks to capture the most natural expressions
is to catch the person off guard. The key is to avoid poses.
It is human tendency to
put a photo face whenever a person is faced with a camera. The
photographer should keep talking to the person so as to distract him
from the camera. When people are unaware of the fact that they are
surrounded with a camera chances of a natural shot are amplified.
Capturing as many shots as possible would increase the likelihood of
stumbling down to that ‘perfect’ image.
