Hi, here are some examples of portraits I've made over the past several years. When making portraits always consider the lighting and how it is on the face of your subject as well as the shadows that are created. Don't forget about the other important photo 'rules' you already know about composition and the rule of thirds. You have to take a lot of pictures of someone to get that one special shot that demonstrates their essence. Never delete any photos as sometimes photos you think are bad are really good, and also, it is good to review and learn from mistakes. Post your favorites below.
