Points:

i Choose a background that doesn’t detract from your subject. i Move in close to your subject.

i Pay attention to lighting and how it affects your subject.

NOTE

i If the background is distracting, it will not show your subject to his best advantage. Move in closer to your subject or zoom in so that the background does not compete with the subject.

i In portrait photography your subject is clearly the central figure, so try techniques that allow the subject to stand out.

i If light is coming from behind your subject (backlit), his face will appear dark. You can get a better picture by using the flash, for example, or changing the exposure setting.
