Environmental Portrait Photoshoot
/ / / / / Our Tips for a Natural Portrait
We all want our portraits to look natural, but the tricky part is feeling comfortable un an unnatural photoshoot situation. For most of our clients, it is their first time in front of the camera, and with little to no clue of what to expect, you can expect to see some initial awkwardness at the beginning. Not to worry, as this is completely normal of a reaction !
Luckily we offer some tips and guidance through the session to help you feel and look more natural in your shots. It’s less about visual language (hair/makeup/clothing etc) and more about body language.
Some ways we help our clients feel natural on camera:
Wall/furniture to lean on: Helps relieve the body from feeling heavy and static
Head tilt: Imitates what our body does when we are naturally curious/interested in someone/something
Looser crop: Hands are always expressive and having them comfortably resting in a way that matches your personality—will help bring out your personality.
