9.2 PORTRAITS

Portrait-style pictures of people looking into the camera build an emotive connection with the viewer. These work especially well when we are telling a personal story and hearing first-hand from the person in the picture. While many portraits show people looking at the lens, don’t be afraid to use portraits where the person is looking away from the lens, if we still get a good sense of their personality. People don’t have to be smiling.
