3 Tips for Portrait Photographing in Fall Season

The most beautiful season has come. The colors of leaves are changing. This is a season when photographers definitely don’t want to miss to take great pictures. And it’s also a wonderful time when you and your friends or beloved ones would like to go out for hiking or a short vacation, because fall break is approaching! Don’t forget to bring a decent camera with you while you are having fun with them. So here are some tips you may need to know before you take any photos.

#1. Be careful about trees and lamp standards.

I’ve seen many portrait photos in which tree branches or a lamp standard “grow” from the person’s head. This is a pitfall you can easily avoid. Just paying a little bit attention to the background. When you are the one who is taking the photo and notice the person being photographed is standing right in front of a tree, you can move several steps right or left so that the awkward composition can be avoided.

#2. Choose clean and organized surroundings.

A beautiful stylish surrounding is always a good plus. But it’s not that easy to find one especially when photographing is not the purpose of your trip. Try to pick a spot where the background is not that busy or disorganized. Since it’s fall, I strongly recommend you to find somewhere that highlights the characteristics of the seasons, such as reeds or a land covered by yellow leaves.

#3. Try to catch the peak moment.

Posing is a double-wedge sword. Super models know how to model in a right way. But for us, it’s easy to try too hard or look dull. A good photographer communicates with his “model”. Talk to the person you are photographing, or tell her a joke if you have one in mind, and make her smile. The moral of this tip is to make the photo look vibrant.
