Settings and features to make great portraits
Photographing people is challenging, rewarding, and fun all at the same time. When you photograph a person, you are capturing a memory, a moment in time. Images of friends and family often become our most cherished possessions. The people you photograph are depending on you to make them look good—and while you can’t always change how a person looks, you can control the way you photograph that individual. In this chapter, we will explore some camera features and techniques that can help you create great portraits.
