Oh boy, look at this. So many ways to make an original portrait. First it’s the person and their expression. And then it’s the props you use in the composition. And I’m not even talking about the exposure, lighting , shutter speed, focal length, etc.

Betina la Plante‘s portrait reminds me of the creative pictures in pictures from DearPhotograph.com

Go out at night and leave your flash at home. Bring your tripod and go crazy.

Control the light

Photography is all about controlling the light. Use it to shoot what you have in mind. Play with the light, indoors and outdoors, natural and studio light.

It will take some time to learn to control light, but once you’ve got it tackled, oh boy, it’s hard to NOT play with light!

Play with light

Photography is all about writing with light, right?

So, why don’t write with light inside a photo? It will take some practise to find the right settings, but there is nothing wrong with playing… in fact;

Keep playing!

There’s always an opportunity

Finally the concert of your favourite band (and this one – Dream Theater – definitely is mine) starts and you’re not in the right position. Excuse me, not in the perfect position! There is no right position, there is always an opportunity to shoot a great photo. Isn’t this image refreshing, compared to all these sweaty close ups of rockstars you see all around you?

Guy Prives did the right thing to shoot this creative, well exposed image.

Always be aware of opportunities!
And keep playing!

Play with selective sharpness

A simple way to guide the viewers eye to the main subject can be the use of selective sharpness. In this photo by Marianna de Ferdinando she also post processed the photo a bit, which works quite well in this image.

Keep playing!

Portraits, the extraordinary way

Spice up your portraits. Try something new, something crazy.

There is already too much mediocrity. Keep playing!

Don’t copy. Be inspired by this photo by John Wilhelm.
