Portrait Photography

When shopping for a camera, look for one that has good resolution that can capture fine details and accurate skin tones. For beautiful bokeh backgrounds, you'll want to have a prime lens in your bag such as a 85mm or a "nifty fifty" 50mm lens. Soft lighting is crucial, so consider using diffusers or a portable lighting setup to create a natural, flattering glow. A sturdy tripod ensures stability for longer shoots, and don’t forget reflectors to fill in shadows and enhance your subject’s features.
