What’s the one mistake most portrait photographers don’t realize they’re making—and how could fixing it instantly elevate your shots?

The most important thing you can do is to connect with your subject(s). Be a person to them before you are a photographer.

  • Ask them about their previous experiences.
  • Find out what is most important to them and what the shoot is for.
  • Be aware of the lighting.
  • Always give positive feedback.
  • Show them how to pose.
  • Use the background to add context to their story.
  • Think about post-processing.
  • Think about mood.
