A Little Elevation and Leaning Forward Results in a Better Portrait
When shooting people, I like to get just a little bit above eye level. When shooting straight on, especially when photographing someone taller than you, results are sometimes less than flattering. Look at the man in the photo on the left, and then compare it to the photo on the right. The only adjustment I made was to stand on a chair and ask him to lean forward just a bit. That slight adjustment results in a much more flattering snapshot that slims him down and eliminates the double chin. A bonus: the background is much less distracting and looking up at me with the sky behind me adds a sparkle to both of their eyes! Quick tips to be prepared for that ultra quick snapshot of guests who don't like having their photo taken but begrudgingly grant you just a moment to do it.
