4 Portrait Photos
Setting up your Portrait
- DO NOT take the photos in direct sunlight!
- Take them in the shade
- F/stop 5.0 or lower (portraits look best with a soft background)
- Focus on the EYES. The eyes MUST be in focus
- Get in close to your subject. You do not want a lot of distraction around them.
- Shoot from the chest or shoulders up. Do not shoot the entire body.
