“Give me a silent smile, a smile with a serious touch, no open mouth…” And now see, what she did with that instruction. A close and intense view, her scarf well arranged. A picture we love.

What´s wrong ?

Expression and close to the subject, working with a full frame. That is what i often say is a key point producing impressive portraits. Catching the mood of a subject, steering the model into a special emotional state during talking with her, what you want to see, want to catch.

Such cost some preparation, for sure. You have to think on what you want to say, want to ask, You have to work on your own expression. You will be so close to your subject, that you are the mirror to her soul. So be aware of this, always ! And a bit of post processing is the normal way :)

Have a break

Even a short shooting session needs a break. Not only for refreshments but to hold, to stop acting, to relax a second. That will give room for the new stuff, for creative ideas. As i said earlier it is YOU to watch your model even in a break. And here we got the picture. She was just sitting down, testing a pose, checking a look, trying this and that and suddenly you have the look you were after… klick … klick. Thats it. Its done.
