Important Points

The most important skill of portrait photography is capturing the true personality of the subject, and make them more comfortable and real in front of the lense. Close ups are photos that are framed around the face, and are most commonly capturing an expression, or a glamour shot. Upper body and midrange photos are used for one or multiple subjects. They can be used to mark an special occasion very well. Environmental photos show the subject in their normal habitat, like a student in a school. To capture the essence of your subject you can interview them if you don't know them.
