14 SIMPLE Photography Tips for BREATHTAKING portraits 

Thank you very much for watching. Let me know if you like this style of video and I will make more! What is your biggest tip when it comes to portrait photography?

Stunning images. Rule number one: shoot a model not your cousin.

Vibrance slider before saturation. I will surely try that!

i just freaking love how this dude literally JUMPED directly into the topics there isn't even a intro 😂

1. Fill the frame, 2. Use colors, play with vibrance before saturation 3. Straight composition, don't let horizons cut the models head. Keep model in lower two thirds, or eyes above in top thirds 4. Eye contact, direct into lens is striking 5. Shoot continuous mode, 2-3 photos. First photo will be blurrier and not as sharp due to shutter, and autofocus 6. No distractions in background, on lens, or on makeup. 7. Many locations, 4-5 ideal 8. Keep eyes in focus 9. Smooth even light is important 10. Posing - model looks better at an angle 11. Expose for the face 12. Keep crop intentional. If showing upper body, make sure to crop out knees. 13. Pick right time of day. Golden hour (sunrise/ sunset) looks best 14. Rules can be broken I've watched many videos on portrait photography in preparation for a shoot. Of all the videos I found, this was the absolute best. Dense in info and amazing examples. Truly inspirational. Had me taking notes! Thank you

Shooting Portraits is easy. Shooting ones that are different than all the others and send a message, that´s hard.

I like how he describes melting make-up as "losing its integrity".

Tip no. 98 Try to have a Gorgeous Model as Possible! (: Love it! Keep the Videos Coming!

This video has sooo much information packed into such a small space, AMAZINGGG

This man has got me out here with a my notepad taking notes on these tips, not just this video but i have been taking a toooon of notes. I want to be a professional photographer after i get out of the Marine Corps!

The moment I started feeling like photo instruction videos were becoming all the same this proved me wrong. Excellent job 5/5 subbed!

Some very interesting tips in there particularly the one about taking more than one photo at a time to reduce chance of camera shake,, thanks for the upload.

Why Am I Watching This? *I Don't Have Friends* :(

I did a test shoot with 2 different lenses, 2 pictures at every f-stop. The second picture was always clearer! Thanks for confirming that.

You do have to remember that you have to give yourself the added space when taking a photo so you can crop it to a print size. i.e. 8x10, 3x5, 4x6 etc

Thank you so much for the free photos to practice editting on!

OMG!!! I'm glad I finally found what I was looking for. When I ask my friends to pose for me, neither of us knew what we were doing and I ended up with 7 good shots out of like 80+ I learned so much from this single video and immediately subscribed. Will implement these tips later this week. This truly helps me a lot. Thank you so much once again!! ❤️❤️

The cropping of the legs tip was really helpful to me. I'm always trying to get the entire body in as it looks odd when I crop the feet, but I played around with cropping above the knees and it works well.

Why was this not recommended to me before?!? 😭

Thanks, I dont know how to do portraits but I'm trying to learn. Thanks for the tips.

I appreciate your video. My favorite tip is a tie between exposing for the skin and making sure the eyes are in sharp focus. All of the other tips are equally as important.

very cool video. subscribed. straightforward, useful, practical. keep it up! my tip for shooting portraits: always bring a hairbrush with you to the shoot.

Imho, the best tip in all of these is shoot in continuous mode to capture 2 to 3 images as the latter frames will be sharper. Surprising how much difference this makes. Nice work Bach Photography!

Great tips. Would love to have seen a few men in the shoot too. Quick question: eyes are critical - but how do you capture the eyes of someone wearing glasses (not sunglasses)?

Since when basic people photos made solely on tiny depth of field as only visually notable characteristic ("bokeh mania"), and with cut hands and legs - are considered "breathtaking art"?

What song is that in the background?

Too many "instagram models" in this video! Lol! Good tips though.

As an obsessive perfectionist I agree with these points. All of these small details, when they come together right, create a very clean and solid image taking experience.

Sharp eyes, so important! Thanks for sharing your beautiful images and techniques. I really enjoy your channel and always learn something new 👏🏻

This is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect video. Thank you

Really astonishing work, every picture is awesome ! I'm a huge fan of your color grading (especially the right one at 0:01 with the leaves and red flowers) and I hope you'll show us how to get such a beautiful result ! Really glad I discovered this channel, keep it up !

this is an awesome video...i do portraits a bit and these are great tips! is that melbourne?! i bloody love that city! ah, how i wish!

How does he get so many gorgeous models? Literally the only person i can photograph is my sister and very low chance but my cousins. 😭

holy crap this was so helpful....thanks man :) got a new sub

For the eyes contact tip I feel that sometimes it depends for what kind of feel we are going for. I saw some great protraits without eye contact

I always used vibrance I feel it is more like a colour contrast vs colour brightness (saturation). Great images, I miss shooting!

This is great ! Now i need some friends and a camera!

Thanks for the tutorial!!! Its very helpful. I request you to plz make mobile phone photography video and few tricks and tips.

Continuous shutter is a problem when using fill flash

I think I fell in love with Kiara 😀😀😀

I had to watch the video twice.. first time i was very distracted 😅

Colour, Saturation, Angle, Eyes focused, Photos in 2's and 3's, Filling images with proper things not distracting things. Clear litter. Clear lenses, make sure they are perfect

Wawwww you are a teacher man👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👌

I subbed! Great photographer Amazing video, beautifull models and wonderfull compositions!

Nice video. I want to start doing 2-3 shot bursts during my portraits. I’m finding that I like a pose, but the eyelids or lips might be a bit mistimed. It’s almost like missing a micro expression.

Helpful tips!!! what is the song that's playing in the background by the way?

GREAT PORTRAIT TIPS! I think the background music added a lot to the video, along with the attractive MODELS! :) I can never find any :) HG - Chicago🤤

@2:06 it probably just deepnds on your preference but the photo on the right side gives me more mysterious vibe like makes me question what is she thinking.... while on the left makes me feel intimidated...

Set yout exposure for the face is a tip I needed! Though I find this very tricky when doing full body shots.. Any advice for that?

1 simple photography tips for INSANELY FCKN AMAZING photos : 1. BUY A DAMN EXPENSIVE ASS CAM LIKE 1DX OR SOME SHIT

after watching this video I think of my self as a PRO! (irl an amateur) just keep shooting till you like your photos. if you shoot for someone and they like it it a win! still a good video

Fucking GREAT video! I'd say I'm pretty good at photography. Photojournalism. Street Photography. Long Exposure. Concerts. The ONE type of photography I always mentally struggle with and overthink is Portrait Photography. Thankfully soon I will actually be taking a class in Portrait Photography, but these tips are sure to come in handy. Especially the multiple-burst tip as well as, well, the rest of the tips!

Many great tips and you reinforce them nicely by showing examples of both good and 'unhood'. Great technique. For me I found: - keeping the eyes in the top 3rd - multiple shots to help avoid blur - the impact of lens angle and how it impacts the viewers focus were the most impactful. thanks

Anyone know the song in the background ?

Background music name please? EDIT: never mind, I got it, KaizanBlu 4am

Great video -- Can you tell me what kind of light you're using on the model outside at night?

ok first i need to find a model :(

im craving knowledge thank you

Wait.... I literally just found you!! That's crazy. I've been watching RU-vid on Photography for years now. I can't believe that!! You have some very good work on here. I look forward to watch your videos over the next few days. Hopefully I can learn some things that I can put to work on my own RU-vid channel based on senior portraits.

Great video. However... At 2.04. That skyscraper on the top of her head dosen't look good. Just an observation

Hmm amazing models and - sorry - still pretty mediocre photos :(, you underexpose heads/skin and blowout highlights

I was already subscribed to the channel - I hit the bell after this one. Amazing amount of instantly useable information. Great job.

So many amazing pointers that I will take into account next time I go out shooting with a model! Thank you so so so much

Top 3 Tips from my experience - Get an experienced model who knows how to connect with the viewer / Style them very well / Choose a location that complements the styling.

3:24 me when i fart gracefully

Well done! What city/country were these images shot in? Great backgrounds and the women were very traditionally feminine looking and had a very toned down subtle sexuality. Not the garish, over the top, obscene, and 'in your face' sexuality that is so prevalent in the U.S. I only noticed one model with a tattoo, and it was small and discrete. "Demure". That's the word I'd use to describe the vibe I get from the models in this video.

I would have to say taking atleast 2-3 photos at a time. I have found that some pics aren't as sharp as they could be. I will be trying this out the nxt time I shoot with a model

BuT HoW cAn i TaKe GoOd PiCtUrEs iF i DoN't HaVe A DsLr!?

I have a question please.... Which light is more accurate? Florescent or indoor sunlight? Actually I'm asking this question cause whenever I take a photo of myself smiling (side profile) in florescent light my nose looks great and defined but when I take it in indoor sunlight my nose looks hideous.... So which one is the true image of my nose? 😂

1:03 She literally stole all my attention. She has an incredible presence.

Even when slowed down with 2, I still can't figure it out. Sorry! Primary language is non English

It was really good, but was much better without the background music and slower talk, in my opinion. Thank you.

Beautiful images of beautiful people.

Pro tip: curves look better in portraits 😂

Incredibly helpful! Thank YOU!!

Loved this presentation/tutorial. Your models rocked!! Also, you stated that the best light is soft light - what time of day would you consider to be the softest light? And on an overcast day as well? Thanks!

Nicely done and nicely explained the simple truth is don’t make your pictures look like snapshots! Think before U Click!

Thanx for the VDO..it's very helpful 😊

beaty blue-eyes girl)

Than you so muchh sir... for most important idea...😘

Please share the camera settings - exposure! Aparture, shutter speed and ISO, especially in video. Thank you.

Lesser is always more in photography, regardless how you wanna make it look like.

Crikeys, for a few of those I completely zoned out, didn’t hear a word then had to go back over it!

You forgot the most important tip, only shoot beautiful models with soft creamy skin

My takeaway...just have beautiful models.

Mix ( same crestor of camera360) and lightroom are really good edits

Great video! Loved your perspective on filling space.

Also, it's kind of fucked up that you used the photo you tell us not to end up doing as your thumbnail photo for this video. Like, wtf? Lol

Very good information. Mastering these fundamentals first will help you understand the when and why to break from them.

I like the simple, straight forward suggestions.

What do you think this picture could be (it`s macro)? imgur.com/tvKs0xa

I kinda disagree with the first tip. Not the tip but the examples of the first tip. There are two different moods in my eyes and still eye catchy

Holy shit dude! Do you just photograph 9s an 10s all day long??

Interested in Nikon camera? Check these out: amzn.to/35pSVBd

The first tip only applies if you have enough money to use a full frame camera 😒😒😒

Amazing tips. I am so happy I found your video.

Anyone know the name of the background soundtrack?

now do a shoot with a big boned dark skin model. gOOD LUCK

Thanks for the video! I have noticed that all the girls know how to move! How is that? I do not think that they are all models....

if you do exactly the opposite of your tips it becomes fashion/ high end photography
