Mysterious and impressive. That’s what you can expect from silhouettes. Taking these pictures may seem simple at first, but for an impressive final result, you have to follow a few rules. Get to know them.

Turning blue into red, turning green into yellow. These are some great options to have in your toolkit. And meanwhile edits like these aren’t really hard at all.

Natural-looking skin is the foundation of a good color portrait. The problem here is that differing light sources in one picture and light reflections off of grass or clothing can cause unnatural color spots. Fortunately you can repair skin color on your PC.

One prerequisite for good exposure is a good choice of aperture. The aperture affects how much light makes it through the lens and onto the camera’s sensor. And another important thing—background blurring—depends on it too.

Artificial light has one large advantage—you have it entirely under your control, and there’s nothing to hold you back from your creative goals. So learn to master flashes and continuous lights, and you’ll take your portrait photographs to the next level.

Knowing how to add text is useful for example when you want to sign a picture, or mark where you took it. And meanwhile, it’s actually a very easy job—and also one you can handle in just a few clicks.

However, you do have to take into account the characteristics of natural light and subordinate your subject’s placement and your exposure settings to these.
