101 Portrait Photography Tips

In my research for improving the process of taking a portrait i learned that when taking a photography of younger kids and babies you should use a faster shutter speed because they tend to move a lot more and cant manage to stay still. i also learned that to get a more natural look in doors, next to a window is the best place to take a picture. When taking a portrait it is also important to pay attention to the background and the surroundings of the person who is going to be photographed. The color of clothes in which the person is also something to pay attention to. If the person is wearing bright colors it is more likely to stand out then if someone who is just wearing dark colors. The colors they are wearing may also reflect on they background you may want to chose.
