Hi, bar taking a course, which i will do, what other ways can i learn good portrait photography.
can anyone recommend any good online resources, maybe some youtube videos etc.

thanks
 
lesson one ..... your subject is the key :-)

the most amazing portraits i've seen were very simple.

subject by window and only shot with the daylight. no fancy tricks or gadgets.

practice with mum, dad, friends or lovers. your main skill will be finding the magic between you and them.

the more you relax, the more they do the same. thats when the shots come.

exposure, shutter, f number, iso blah blah blah ...... all are lost if your subject is uptight, shy or feeling uncomfortable.

go play and have fun ...... BOTH of you :-)
 
cool, thanks i think i will get experimenting in general then.
