Happy New Year to all!

To start the year I would like to share a little guide in shooting.
I will start first in shooting portraits which I hope you'll get interested.
There are always things we have to consider in shooting portraits
No perfect face - we always need to look for the right angle.
any comments - please feel free to add on for everybody's benefit.......


Thin Face - Model Face pose facing camera

Round/Chubby Face - Camera angle high
- Model face 3/4 to the camera

Double Chin - lean head toward camera

Big Nose- Nose straight into lens

Small Nose- Angle nose to the camera

Ears Big - 3/4 Pose
- show only one ear

Eyes Size Different - Largest eyes close to camera
other eye in shadow area

Face with wrinkles - Use soft light

Talent with eye glass - position lights very high or bounce


I hope others can help add more guides and suggestions.........:)

I will try to work on this....
The best way for me to show you samples is to show the negative parts and then how to shoot them correctly. Baka ma-offend ang mga talents:Angry: at magalit sa akin.
I will try .:D
