Necks often reflect weight or
age of a subject. To achieve a
pleasing portrait, consider either
hiding portions of the neck with
clothing or positioning the por-
trait to reduce the amount of the
person’s neck included. A good
technique to use to reduce dou-
ble chins is to have your subject
slightly tip his or her head
upward.
For group portrait posing tips
see the section on group por-
traits in Chapter 6.
