3 Best Tips For Taking Amazing Portraits

3 Best Tips For Taking Amazing Portraits:
1. Experiment With Lighting
There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits. Side-lighting can create mood, back lighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.

2. Take Unfocused Shots
As photographers we have ‘sharp focus’ drummed into us as an ultimate objective to achieve in our work – but sometimes lack of focus can create shots with real emotion, mood and interest.

3. Hold Your Camera At An Angle
This type of framing can add a sense of fun and energy into your shots. Just don’t ‘slightly’ do it or you’ll have people asking themselves if you might have mistakenly held your camera crooked.

          Alfred Stieglitz was a very skilled photographer that took photos in black and white. Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1864. He went to school in Germany for engineering in 1881 and went to Technische Hochschule in Berlin for photochemistry in 1882. When Stieglitz got back to New York in 1890, he got in a partnership with a photogravure company and took photos of streets.            He then went back to Europe in 1894 and joined a pictorialist society called The Linked Ring located in London. Eight years later, Stieglitz tries to tell the world that photography could show as much artistic expression as painting and sculpture. In 1903, which was a year later, he became the director and publisher of Camera Works , a magazine with its graphic section worked on by Edward Steichen. Steichen and Stieglitz opened the "Little Galleries of the Photo Secession" also known as "291" on Fifth Avenue in New York City in ...

1. Which amusement park featured in the two articles would you like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park makes you want to go there? I would like to visit Land of Oz in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. It doesn't look so scary and since it's abandoned, there won't be people getting in your shots if you wanted to have a model to pose on the yellow brick road or going into a castle. Also, The Wizard of Oz movie turned into an amusement park is great. To see it abandoned would be terrifying but more realistic than having people walking everywhere, even in the forest. 2. What are 5 other unusual places photographers would be interested in? 1.  The Musee des Egouts in Paris, France 2.  Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi,   Sweden 3.  Las Pozas in Xilitla, Mexico 4.  Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California 5. Hanging Coffins of Sagada in Mountain Province, Philippines. 3. Why do you think it would be fun to document Las Pozas? Tell me...
