Two Secrets to Great Portraits

By Josiah | March 30, 2009

Here are two simple tips for great portraits.

Use Long Lenses

Traditional portraiture is done using long lenses or focal lengths.  You can do this on your simple point and shoot by stepping back and zooming in.  This cause a flattening effect of the face, which tends to be much more flattering.

Use Large Apertures (Small F Stops)

If you have manual ability you can use large apertures, this allows you to blur backgrounds and draw focus to the subject.  Experiment with different f/stops.  Good portrait lenses can use f/2.8 or lower.

Here’s a great lens for portraits.  It has the characteristics of a great portrait lens.

Canon 135mm f/2.0
