Why do some photographers say "portraits are difficult to shoot"? Is there any way to make people look "good"?

Portrait is not difficult to shoot, and there is no problem that the subject is difficult to shoot, only the problem of good shooting and bad shooting.

There is a classic quotation of photography that is not good because you are not close enough. This sentence was originally used in street sweeping shooting, and I feel it is also applicable to portrait works.

Highlighting the subject is the key to taking a good portrait. In order to stand out, of course, we should be closer to the main body.

A portrait with prominent facial expressions and facial features does not need too many props, and body language is equally attractive. Use the lens as close as possible to the subject. An eye, an eyelash, a red lip and even wrinkles on the face are all good forms of expression.

The choice of lens is also very important for taking a good portrait. Fixed focus and large aperture are the keys to taking a portrait of sugar water.

Being good at discovering the beautiful side of the subject matter is also the key to making a good work. Even the ugliest person has beautiful moments and angles. Try to explore and guide them.

I believe that through hard work and more attempts, I will be able to shoot beautiful and moving portraits.
