Photography Tips: Create Captivating Photos - Hunter Freeman - http://ow.ly/Ec643
I've read and listened to quiet some stuff about portraiture, but the most important hint of all that comes over and over again, and Hunter Freeman stresses it one more time, is to get to know the subject, drop the camera and start to get to know the person. So many great photographers can't be wrong. (In fact, you might apply it to any kind photography)Now I also like the second hint : Don't get the persons to strike a pose, and let them be natural, and hopefully, one might be able to catch that magical fleeting moment.
