Many portrait photography tips linking the technical aspects of taking a picture. However, there are three other councils often overlooked that when you can turn a good opportunity in an excellent portrait.
Storytelling
Put the person in an environment that reflects something about the subject. For example, if you are taking a portrait of someone who loves the outdoors, do not take into portrait - take to the streets. If someone else at home, while in the kitchen cooking, going to take the picture. I call these, "Portraits of Life." You should try to capture the essence of the person within the image.
Does this sum the person's photograph? I can say what moves them to look at the scene? It should be immediately apparent what this person is passionate when someone sees the picture. Also, the person will feel more comfortable in front of the camera when in a place they like. Call it your "happy place." His body language will change in this place. They are more relaxed, comfortable, and at ease because they like that place.
For example, take the woman who is known to practically love garden. Portraits should be captured at the right place and at the right time. Now, it doesn't mean that you'll just stand there and smile in front of the camera. Tell which interact with the garden. Consider a camera angle that is low to the ground and have to interact with your garden.
Stop-look-listen
Take a second or two to think about what you want the picture to "say". Look around in the environment. Is this the best place and angle to the picture? The subject may have to move a bit to cut an object of distraction. Of course, the opposite is true. Move slightly to include a better background. Take the time and use the best backdrop and lighting available.
Interact
Have fun and make your subject comfortable. Telling a story or joke, put them at ease. In addition, people such as the address. You have the camera in your hand makes you the expert. You are the boss at that time. Adopting this stance and use it to create better images. If you see some distraction or unattractive angle, let the person know and ask them to adjust the situation. For example, if one side of his collar sticking up, just mention it casually and ask them to fix it. They will thank you when given the finished portrait.
