10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits. How do you take Portraits that have the ‘Wow’ factor? Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it’s all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules. I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography. I’ll share ten of these tips today and a further ten tomorrow (update: you can see the 2nd part here). 1.
Alter Your Perspective Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. Get up high and shoot down on your subject or get as close to the ground as you can and shoot up. 2. It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. A. B. 3. 4. 5. The shots were amazing, surprising and quite funny. Tim Flach Photography | smashingpicture.com.

Fotografie von Nousheen Aquil Dieser Post beschäftigt sich mit einem interessanten und herausfordernden Ansatz in der Fotografie – nämlich der Forced Perspective – was sich in etwa mit erzwungener Perspektive übersetzen lässt. Im Wesentlichen geht es um eine optische Täuschung, die das Objekt größer oder kleiner wirken lässt, als es tatsächlich ist. Durch verschiedene Tricks und den Einsatz skalierter Objekte sowie deren Relation zum Blickwinkel des Betrachters oder zur Position der Kamera, wird der menschlichen Wahrnehmung eine andere Perspektive als die tatsächlich fotografierte vorgegaukelt. Hier geht es allerdings nicht um die Technik, sondern um die Effekte und 35 gut gemachte fotografische Beispiele der Forced Perspective.

Americana 2 | The DuckDuck Collective Blog. A year ago, when DuckDuck collective first came together, we posted a blog entitled “Americana”. This was the first time that the three of us had ever combined our imagery together into a single project. “Americana 2″ is a look into some of the more personal images and portraits we have taken over the last year as a team. It has been a beautiful ride and we are so glad so many of you have enjoyed it with us.
