1. The photographer must have a clear theme

Clear theme ideas make your photos have a clear theme, with content, plot and story.

2. The picture taken should be concise

Those elements that cannot highlight your subject or even distract your attention should be tightened or swept away.

Attention is directed to the subject, which is the center of your expression.

3. A simple way to keep the portrait from deformation

When taking pictures, keep a distance from the subject's position and try not to use a wide-angle lens unless you want to express a very exaggerated effect. Under normal circumstances, it is better to take outdoor portrait photos with a lens with a focal length of 80-90mm.

4. It is very important for people to relax in taking photos.

Let the subject stand, bend, lean, sit or lie down according to the scene. The more comfortable and natural it is. When the characters relax, they will show their emotions more naturally, which requires communication, so that the subjects forget to take photos and capture them naturally.

5. To obtain shallow depth of field and highlight the figure

The way to obtain shallow depth of field and make the subject background vague is to use large aperture and long focal distance as much as possible. If conditions permit, let the character stand as far away from the background as possible.
