10 Must Know Portrait Composition Tips

[@dumsurfer88]

"Remember, photography is not to show people what you see, it is to let them feel how you feel" perfectly sums it up for me

[@manuelolutoki2275]

that was profound!

[@immanuel7887]

This is by far the best and most compact video on one of the most important topics in photography. You learn more in less than 15 minutes than in workshops lasting days.

[@mylucksmiles]

Great photography.cheers. Although I understand the rule basic rule of thirds. I found I went through a coupe of stages first before I got the message about taking photos. One I thought my first photos where great, but that’s my ego thanking that, then I saw the truth. Next was taking photos similar to the photos I had seen and like. Now I was told that I should just look at other peoples pictures and after I had seen 5oo,000 then I would develop an eye for what I liked personally. Both I think helped me develop my eye. However I found that even with a great camera and lenses the photo quality was good the composition not so. I studied my photos and realised two things. Firstly point and shoot did not work, I would have to bend my back to get the right eye leave. Second is go back over and over again to get use to the equipment and changes in light. Trying different angles shooting through tree ex . Then I found my self looking at my photos and seeing the picture I should have taken. The positive thing was I had learned the setting and about both camera and lenses. So now I get more hits than missed shoots. Last thing was I was honest from day one if I could not take a picture of a local bird then going to a distant country would not change my failure. I went to local museums and to the local lodges . Now I am seeing my photos engage other people interest. It takes time self awareness honestly and determination. The gear helps but if you can’t use it then it kinda puts you off in the long run. If you want to take great photos then you will. But it will take time .

[@friederikestricker7261]

Ps: and thank you so much for all the amazing images, examples too!

[@sheeldzz]

I LOVE this way of learning! Thank you for explaining Photography as a way of blending talent, creativity and feeling as well as showing examples of them all.

[@caio509]

I love the way you incorporate the elements in the background with the subject in your portraits. That's next level portrait photography. So much attention to details and colors. Your portraits brought me the boost of inspiration I was looking for. I didn't know about your work before this video, but now I'm a big fan. Thank you!

[@KyleCongphoto]

Thank you!

Honestly horizontal vs vertical explanation was such a great tip. Never thought of it that way. Great tips

[@Laiquatan]

Thank you. It conveys very well about ways to -think- about composition rather than just listing rules/tools of composition.

Purpose first, rules second.

[@jeanjuniorjean-louis6442]

I have the bad habit of watching videos that already have 1000s of views. I am glad that I did not skip this one because among the 100s of videos that I have watched since launching in photography as a hobby, this one here is one of the most complete, yet simple one on composition. You are my first comment on the 100s of video that I have watched so far. I hope your channel will grow exponentially.

[@KyleCongphoto]

[@KyleCongphoto]

Thank you!

[@StevenMatto]

I just found your channel today and immediately subscribed. I really like how you talk and explain everything, very easy to understand, and the examples are great. I would love to see how you edit. Most of my shooting subjects (fire scenes, football, air shows, etc...) require a sharp, contrasty, and moody edit, but when I do portraits with my wife, I feel lost as I can't shake that type of editing. I'd love to learn how to get the look that you have in your sample shots. Keep posting these great videos!

[@KyleCongphoto]

If you feel that you are not getting the right mood for a photo, start with composition and lighting, if it’s a portrait, posing and expression are important too. Once these are done, editing part will be easier. I’ll make a video about editing.

[@DSGQR]

Fantastic. Thank you! Wish I could go on a shoot with you. Haha

[@KyleCongphoto]

[@bishwashchhetri8268]

Just subscribed..this type of teaching is what I was searching for❤

[@photophilsteingard8374]

Kyle thanks for sharing so many greats points on how to improve our photography !!! One thing I learned from an excellent teaching photographer many years ago. Is some times taking a photo and flipping it the other direction. There are times we want to take a photo but the leading lines are going to wrong way. This same photographer won one of the highest environment portrait awards in Canada a number of years ago by doing this Love your photo with the woman and the lighthouse. But if you flipped it the other direction. You have the rocks leading to the woman and the woman to the lighthouse. There is more emphasis on her and less on the lighthouse. Both ways the photo looks amazing so you cannot go wrong. Just wanted your thoughts on this Again thanks for sharing!!!

[@KyleCongphoto]

flipping the image is a technique that have been used since Renaissance. It's easy to find drawing errors once you flip an image (back then people use mirror). But I think this technique makes more sense on painting than photography. This is especially the case for subjects whose faces are not 100% symmetrical. Flipping the photo will change their face.

[@helmutsassenfeld8002]

@@KyleCongphoto very nice work. It just seems like your more ambitious work involves beautiful models. I’m not saying that a beautiful lady is all you need for a great image, though…not in the least. Your work is very visually competent.
