As I mentioned in my first post<\/a> suggesting\u00a0 a series on the differences between snapshots and portraits<\/em>, \u00a0 it’s a reasonable question.\u00a0 If you were to ask the average person with a point-and-shoot digital camera, I doubt they’d be able to give you a answer.\u00a0 Besides, they’re both pictures <\/em>of a person, right?!<\/p>\n

But, I’m a photographer, and a portrait photographer at that.\u00a0 I took the challenge upon myself to help de-mystify the 5 keys things that can help turn your next shoot from just another snapshot<\/em> into a piece of art<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In case you’re just tuning in, take a few minutes to check out the following articles …<\/p>\n

1. Light and Exposure<\/a> – Let there be light!
\n2. Focus and Depth of Field<\/a> – Why’s everything so blurry?
\n3. Texture<\/a> – It’s time to roughen it up a bit!
\n4. Composition<\/a> – Is negative space actually … negative?
\n<\/a> 5. Color<\/a> – Avoid mix and matching color and pattern combinations<\/p>\n

The next time you have a camera in hand, keep these 5 things in mind.\u00a0 Start off simply by applying just one at a time and you will soon find snapping snapshots a thing of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
