25. Place the Weight on the Back Foot- and shift the hips (with standing poses.)
26. (Couples Portraiture) Do Not Photograph Two Heads at the Same Height.
Rule 27. (Couples or Group Portraiture) Have No Head Directly Above Another.
28. Avoid Crotch Shots-Raising the leg that is closest to the camera in
a standing pose will prevent shooting into the subject's crotch.
29. Use The Right Key and Good Taste-Generally speaking a subject
dressed in all white looks best in a medium or high key background.
Conversely, a subject dressed in dark clothing looks best on a medium
or dark (low key) background.
30. If The Subject Has Two of Them, Make Them Different.
31. Avoid "90 Degree" Arms (a general rule for females.)
32. Don't Shoot Into a Bare Armpit.
33. (Group Portraiture) Have the subjects at either end of the image face in toward the center.
34. Use A Telephoto Lens.
35. Avoid Posing A Bride Kneeling on the Floor.
36. Hand Placement. Use good taste in the placement of hands.
14. Use The 1-2-2 or The 1-3-2 Posing Technique. Males usually look
best in the 1-2-2. Females usually look best in the 1-3-2 technique.
15. Avoid Flat Lighting. *Portraits usually look best with one side brighter than the other side.
16. Watch the Nose and Cheek Line-The face should not be turned so far
away from the camera that the nose will break or nearly break the far
cheek line.
17. Avoid Clutter - Simplicity is usually best.
17 a. Busy clothing will create confusion for the eye.
18. Crop Between The Joints, Not At them.
19. Watch Recessed Cheek Line with Glasses.
20. Don?t Overuse Hair and Kicker Lights.
21. If It Bends, Bend It-This rule is perhaps the single most important rule.
21 a. Wherever there is a joint, ?break? it.
22. Don?t Stack The Hands or Clasp Them Together-Seperate them and place them apart and between the joints.
23. Subdue the Near hand-The hand that is nearest to the lens will
appear larger than the other hand especially if it is held very close
to the lens (foreshortening.)
23 a. Don't project the hands toward the lens and keep them within the range of focus.
23 b. Generally speaking, if the hand is above the subject's waist, the fingers should be directed upwards.
24. Don't Photograph The Back of Women's Hands.* The sides are much
more graceful than the flat of the hand. 24a. Fists are masculine, open
hands are feminine.
1.* No Sleeveless Clothing in The Head and Shoulders Portrait.*
2. "No shorts in group portraiture."*
3. Avoid Bright Colors and Bold Patterns in Clothing.
4. Avoid Football Shoulders-The body should not be turned straight to the camera.
5. Solid Pyramidal Base - The body should not be turned 90 degrees away
from the camera. 45 degrees is usually the ideal angle for the head and
shoulders portrait.
6, Correct Posing Stool Height- I have found that a 24 inch tall
stepladder works wonderfully as a posing stool for nearly all of my
traditional head shots, provided my subject is not very overweight.
7. (Females) Lean Slightly Away From The Camera.*
8. Lean Forward Slightly-"Over the belt buckle."
10. Project The Chin - Especially if your subject has a full or double
chin. By projecting the chin out toward the camera and using a slightly
higher camera position the double chin can be nearly eliminated.
11. Proper Head Tilt- Never tip a man?s head to the high (feminine) shoulder as he will look feminine. Female head tilt.
12. Proper Eye Direction-Generally speaking, in males the eyes should
follow the direction of the nose.* For females there should be slightly
more whites of the eyes on one side than on the other.*
12a. The eyes should never be turned so far in their sockets that there
is no white area on one side, and you should not shoot into the whites
of the eyes.
12b. The catchlights from the main light are considered correctly
placed when they appear at the eleven o'clock or one o'clock position
in both eyes.
13. Proper Camera Height - Generally speaking, the camera lens should
be at about eye level for head and shoulders portraits, chin level to
chest level for ? length and chest level to waist level for full length
portraits.
