    – 00:06 ๐Ÿ“ธ The speaker shares their top 5 tips for guaranteeing great portraits.
    – 00:34 ๐Ÿ“ท Early work as a portrait photographer lacked connection, making them just photographs, not portraits.
    – 01:10 ๐Ÿฅ‹ Example of a photo of a friend, a kickboxing champion, showing the difference connection makes in portraits.
    – 01:30 ๐Ÿ—ฃ Connection with the subject is crucial for a successful portrait.
    – 02:02 ๐Ÿšช Speaker leaves equipment in the car initially to avoid intimidating the subject.
    – 02:43 ๐Ÿ‘ Keeping eye contact with the subject helps maintain their comfort and relaxation.
    – 03:20 ๐Ÿค Betaris Box principle: the photographer’s attitude affects the subject’s attitude and behavior.
    – 03:41 ๐Ÿ‘€ Some subjects look better looking at the camera, others looking past it; experimenting helps find the best angle.
    – 04:54 ๐Ÿ–ฅ Showing subjects the photos during the shoot, focusing on lighting rather than complimenting them, helps them relax.
    – 06:00 ๐ŸŽง Listening to the subject can provide vital information that can change the approach to the photoshoot.
    – 07:45 ๐Ÿ•ฐ Summary of tips: slow down, maintain eye contact, experiment with angles, focus on technique rather than subjects, and listen to them.
    – 08:12 โญ Make the subject feel important by talking about their life and interests.

    Interesting psychology tips

  8. @andreafouriephotography on October 29, 2024 at 9:21 pm

    Possibly one of best videos I have watched on this topic, and I think you have transformed my approach to portrait photography – THANK YOU! I do a lot of this type of work, and I will definitely take these tips to heart.

  13. @Sanderhhan on October 29, 2024 at 9:24 pm

    Wow, you are absolutely amazing. I am a hobby photographer, studying communication and psychology. The way that you are observing and taking small hints in from the communication and gestures the other person (model) is sending, is amazing. You act upon what you know and what you are learing. Amazing work!

  14. @PurpleKya on October 29, 2024 at 9:26 pm

    I’ve been a photographer for 13 years and I’ve never had someone put it this way. I do some of this but just hearing you explain it so concisely really clicked something in my brain. Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m going to try this at my next photoshoot

  15. @ColinHuijser on October 29, 2024 at 9:27 pm

    I want to give this 10 likes. Great video.

  16. @FernandoFelicianoJr on October 29, 2024 at 9:28 pm

    Brilliant advice. Love how you make it about the human connection and not the gear. Lovely. I will use this advice for sure.

  17. @JohnFisk-OHS-78 on October 29, 2024 at 9:29 pm

    This is cracking brilliant!

    One more suggestion, if I might: not everyone knows what to do with their hands. Sometimes, it’s helpful to let them hold something, especially if it doesn’t detract from the image you’re trying to capture. This can work really well if that "something" has meaning to them. It can help them relax and feel less self-conscious.

  18. @adrianvarasteanu8260 on October 29, 2024 at 9:29 pm

    Amazing tips , you are great!

    Amazing tips, I am subscribed!

  20. @RetroHoo on October 29, 2024 at 9:31 pm

    This is such useful video. It’s all about getting that connection. It’s lovely to see someone focus (no pun intended) on the human side instead of talking about lighting patterns and/or gear. I usually do my best work with a camera and a handheld reflector. Keep it simple and connect. Thanks!

  21. @timpenner7858 on October 29, 2024 at 9:33 pm

    This is the best portrait tips video I’ve seen – and there have been a lot of them. It’s not 45 minutes of blather, you reinforce your words with text, and then, at the end, you summarize your points. You have a new fan.

    Finally, I found a kind photographer. Most of them have toxic behavior.

  32. @antoniosalles3134 on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    Excellent advice. It then becomes an experience, not a job. You hit the nail in the head.

  33. @chaswalk1000 on October 29, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    I attended a portrait photo workshop taught by a photographer named Platon, and the idea of creating connection was something he stressed as well.

    great suggestion on having them follow your hand around while taking pictures on a release cable

  41. @randomcommenterurl on October 29, 2024 at 10:01 pm

    Making eye contact while taking a photo does kinda require some extra gear though. Besides a tripod, it is quite expensive to find a good camera with eye auto focus
