Be yourself and shoot what you love

I think it is unfortunate when photographers do downright strange things to try and make a creative portrait. Do things that you like. If you re more of a serious type, then shooting traditional portraits in a studio is probably what you ll do best. If you re more fun and flirty, then shooting models in an ice cream shop or jumping on a trampoline will probably produce your best work. Let your photos reflect who you are and what type of photography you are passionate about. Tip by Christine Whelan on the Improve Photography Facebook fan page.
