Varying the picture elements
Although we often think of a portrait as being traditionally a head - and - shoulders shot , this is in fact rarely the case . Often , you can create a more interesting picture by introducing other elements such as the hands - or by shooting a full - length view of the sitter .
For a full - length portrait it is far better to allow your sitter to lean on something , or to sit rather than stand . It is also much easier to shoot in natural light , outdoors if possible . A full - length portrait in the studio is one of the most difficult shots to take , since it requires plenty of space and a well - thought - out lighting set - up .
Hands are notoriously difficult to photo graph . Even the most natural arrangements often seem posed and awkward in the final portraits , so give your sitter some time to relax before you shoot . Once you add hands to your picture you must also think about the way that they are lit. Hands placed on the sitter's lap will certainly be underlit if the main light is above the head . The same will apply to the rest of the body , especially if the clothing is fairly dark . For this reason , traditional photographers like Yousuf Karsh often used an additional small spot to light the hands . If you are unable to use an additional light try to arrange the fill - in lamp so that it acts as an additional source of illumination for these areas .
Full - length portrait When shooting a full length figure it is often better to ask your subject to stand with one side toward the camera , rather than facing it . The figure usually looks slimmer and taller when seen from the side . Pentax 6 × 7 , 75 mm , 1/30 sec at f1 1 , Ektachrome 200 .
Using flash to catch movement D It is almost impossible to freeze swift movement in tungsten lighting . Umbrella flash is the best solution . Here , I used one flash head to light the subject , with fill - in from a reflector , and a second head on the background . Pentax 6 × 7 , 105 mm , 1/30 sec at f11 , Ektachrome 200 .
Including the hands ▷ The hands are always an attractive feature in a portrait . They add a secondary point of interest for the eye . Arms also can act as a strong composi tional element , far right . Gestures are always very expressive and add immediate vitality to the picture , right . The most natural movements of the hands happen during a lively conversation , and if your sitter uses his or her hands while talking you should exploit this . I used an umbrella flash with a reflector for both these pictures . Pentax 6 × 7 , 105 mm , 1/30 sec at f11 , Ektachrome 200 .
