The GCT class of 2018-2019 had 1 class to take photos of each other for this project on how to take good portrait photos. We used that class to learn different techniques on taking portrait photos and we're now supposed to make a top 10 list of the best techniques in taking good portrait photos which is what that is down below.


Top 10


10 - Make Sure the subject (the person) take up most of the space in the photo but still have some background

9 - Have your camera setting fit with the setting for your photo (ISO, F-STOP, APERTURE, Etc)

8 - If you have one, use a tripod to keep from blurry photos, especially in cold days when you’re shivering and you can't
take a clear photo
7 - Make sure your subject is in focus and not the background

6 - The backdrop, props, and outfit must be similar like if you’re taking a beach photos have the subject wear beach clothes

5 - If you have props, use them to make the photo look more appealing rather then just having a solid color background.

4 - Have the person do poses to make the photo look interesting

3 - Try using natural light to make the photo look more appealing rather then artificial light.

2 - Show motion in the photo to add interest

1 - Don't take 1 photo at a time, take multiple and pick the photo you like instead of having to keep retaking the photo.
