Excellent tips!
Sorry man, I see no difference in the eyes: they are just the same! ๐
Really good
– 00:06 ๐ธ The speaker shares their top 5 tips for guaranteeing great portraits.
– 00:34 ๐ท Early work as a portrait photographer lacked connection, making them just photographs, not portraits.
– 01:10 ๐ฅ Example of a photo of a friend, a kickboxing champion, showing the difference connection makes in portraits.
– 01:30 ๐ฃ Connection with the subject is crucial for a successful portrait.
– 02:02 ๐ช Speaker leaves equipment in the car initially to avoid intimidating the subject.
– 02:43 ๐ Keeping eye contact with the subject helps maintain their comfort and relaxation.
– 03:20 ๐ค Betaris Box principle: the photographer’s attitude affects the subject’s attitude and behavior.
– 03:41 ๐ Some subjects look better looking at the camera, others looking past it; experimenting helps find the best angle.
– 04:54 ๐ฅ Showing subjects the photos during the shoot, focusing on lighting rather than complimenting them, helps them relax.
– 06:00 ๐ง Listening to the subject can provide vital information that can change the approach to the photoshoot.
– 07:45 ๐ฐ 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.
Amazing tips, beautiful stories! Thank you Glyn for sharing.
i appreciate, nice tips
Interesting psychology tips
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.
This is actually such an awesome video!
Thank you for the knowledge
Awesome vid !
Bloody Marvelous mate๐๐
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!
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 ๐ I’m going to try this at my next photoshoot
I want to give this 10 likes. Great video.
Brilliant advice. Love how you make it about the human connection and not the gear. Lovely. I will use this advice for sure.
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.
Amazing tips , you are great!
Amazing tips, I am subscribed!
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!
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.
Love this!

Great tips!!!!
Terima kasih, Glyn.
Glyn, great tips; thank you very much.
the most precious 9 minutes i spent on youtube for the last few months. thank you.
Thank you, not just for these splendid 5 tips, but for remind us how important is to priorize the person, humanazing photography… ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Excellent!
The vets are so cute ๐ฅน
Finally, I found a kind photographer. Most of them have toxic behavior.
Excellent advice. It then becomes an experience, not a job. You hit the nail in the head.
I attended a portrait photo workshop taught by a photographer named Platon, and the idea of creating connection was something he stressed as well.

this was very helpful thank you!
Thank God i found your channel.great tips coz im planning to be a freelance portrait photographer
spot on.
Amazing video thanks
great suggestion on having them follow your hand around while taking pictures on a release cable
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
great words sir, tq for detailed sharing of knowledge, really it is helpful
Thank you so much for making this! Brilliant tips
I love so much that this was about how to be a good photography and not just how to take a photograph! Super helpful!!!
Great tips. Simple , important and effective
Thanks for valuable tips ๐
bloody informative
Wow! You nailed it one 100%…!!!
Never thought about portrait photography seriously Glyn, but these tips sound golden. Thanks for sharing!
WOW
