A portrait begins with a choice about character.
Decide what the person is doing and how they relate to the camera. Use a single strong color or shape to connect the subject with the set.
Frame for the gesture
Use a wider frame for moving fabric, a closer one for expression. Check hands, gaze, and clothing seams at full size.
Use references deliberately
Explain whether a reference guides the face, clothing, or visual mood. Only use images you have permission to use.
AN IDEA YOU CAN USE
A little less blank-page thinking.
