My Photo Passion

Posted by Ron On November - 18 - 2009

have been learning photography ever since college but up until now, I still consider myself a "frustrated photographer". Not yet a pro but definitely not a beginner....just stacked up on the middle of both. But hey, I love photography. Its my passion too..

How To Take Photos of People

Written By administrator On 1:52 AM
Taking photos of people is rather much different than shooting landscape, animals etc. Though portrait photography is a little bit hard in situations like candid photography because you have limited control of the subjects thus you have limited control of the settings of the camera as far as time is concerned. Well, people are one of the best and fun subjects. 


The key to portrait photography is creative imagination - well, this applies to the whole field of photography. Just have fun and let your imagination play. Set your camera to automatic settings and just play around on how to creatively put the subject on frame...play with the angles and the colors.


Using a telephoto lens is what is suggested when shooting people. Though a kit lens is good enough, 100mm or more is better. Kit lens are usually wide angle lens and can distort the image. Using a zoom lens will get the proper dimension of the photo. Well, I must admit, sometimes Photography is an expensive hobby. Here is a tip, you can always  go and purchase products online . I got a good deal when I got my macro lens.


Ofcourse, the light should never be ignored. Proper and creative manipulation of lights will bring out best photos.
