Portrait photography is a branch of photography in which human faces are photographed. Portrait photography is a constant challenge and requires the creativity of photographers to achieve truly beautiful portraits. “Portrait photography” is one of the most popular types of photography that is done by both amateur and professional photographers. A professional portrait photographer takes quality photos using photography techniques such as the use of light, colors and composition. One of the misconceptions about face photography is to confuse it with spontaneous and unexpected photos. In portrait photography, the image that is recorded is the result of composition and “practice” beforehand between the subject and the photographer. The way of lighting, the choice of background and the pose of the subject are all planned in advance to create the best impression on the viewer. However, some instant portrait photos, especially of famous people, can also be classified as very good portraits. There are different types of portrait photography. Such as full-length, personal, artistic, family, political and advertising portraits. The artistic arrangement of light and the processing of its reflection, along with the combination of homogeneous colors and creative angle detection, and the selection of suitable lenses and filters, and the combination of these elements, are tips that can turn you into a professional photographer. The result of the photo of the face should be that the photo can show the subject’s emotions and feelings in the best and most natural way possible. The photographer must be able to capture the feeling of happiness, sadness, anger, extreme anger, fear, apprehension, anxiety, tears, joy, pride or any other real feeling in the moment and this truth should be instilled and understood correctly by the viewer of the image. One of the most important factors for a good photo is finding the best angle of the subject’s face. Note that this action will make your photos look very different. A portrait photographer is considered a professional when he can communicate with his model and recognize the right angle of each face and take a photo from an appropriate angle. Photography equipment is also very important in creating an impressive portrait. Cameras that are suitable for portrait photography are usually DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Meanwhile, full frame cameras have the best performance. If you are interested in portrait photography outside the studio, such as street or environmental portrait photography, I recommend that you consider a variety of mirrorless cameras. Because they are lighter and easier to transport. Medium telephoto lenses at focal lengths between 70mm and 200mm are ideal for portrait photography. To create a blurred background or beautiful bokeh, it is necessary to use a lens with an open aperture, ie F/1.2 to F/1.8. To use these apertures, you must use prime lenses. To take portrait photos in the studio, you need flash, softbox, octabox, beauty dish, umbrella and reflector.
