How to take good-looking photos of people's eyes?

1. Direct eye contact

If the subject's line of sight is aimed at the camera, there will be a connection between the person who looks at the photo and the person who is photographed. This connection is conveyed by the expressive force of the model. Portraits may be attractive, angry, funny or timid. Through direct eye contact, the subject knows that he is being photographed and begins to pose for photos.

2. Eye contact between photographic subjects

Different from direct eye contact, eye contact between models conveys the relationship between pictures. People who look at photos become bystanders and don't participate in what is happening in the picture. Usually, this kind of eye contact is used to express love, which can be seen in many wedding photos, but with this appearance, negative emotions such as anger and fear may also appear. Eye contact between models does not mean that there must be two people. Children and dogs can play together, such as decorating a bunch of flowers.

3. Indirect expression of eyes

In this case, we are talking about a model who doesn't look at the camera. It seems that she doesn't even know that she is taking pictures, and she is completely immersed in her own thoughts. At this time, the model either looks at the distance or closes his eyes and is immersed in his own thinking. Such a picture creates a mysterious and thoughtful atmosphere, and it is impossible to say with certainty that a person's attention is directed at the picture. This kind of understatement inspires and produces an attractive tension in the photo, which makes the viewer stop his eyes to guess and think.
