Manage Light Issues

• This tip is at the top for many reasons. Light
  plays a major role in any picture, forget
  portraits. Lightning can thumbs up or thumbs down
  any photo easily. So it is better to give your
  highness some respect and look for ways in which
  your subjects have the right amount of light on
  them. If you dont have a proper studio, sunlight
  can always work. Never use camera flash in your
  portraits. Most pictures suffer destruction due
  to it. One more tip. Dont forget to brighten
  your subjects teeth. You can use Photoshop for
  this purpose.

Originality

• Now it can be said that the originality of a
  portrait solely depends on the person in it. But
  if we are judging very minutely, the candidness
  of a portrait also relies on the photographer.
  The photographer must realize that he has an
  ultimate power over the person in the picture. He
  can bring out the originality in the photo. If
  the picture seems very posy and unreal, it can
  never connect to the viewer.

. This link would become shallow, and it would
lose its appeal. The best way to make your client
put an honest expression is to make him/her
relax. Talk to them before the shoot. Ask them
how they are feeling at the moment. Dont try too
hard to get what you want. Forced expression is a
disaster that would be the last thing you want in
your portrait.

Experiment

• Stop being so scared about it. Although you can
  take classic portrait pictures you can also play
  with your job. Experiment and see what you are
  getting from it. Put a frame, see if you like it
  or not, change it. Make mistakes. Change the
  focus of the lens. Put your camera to different
  angles. Take unfocussed pictures. Go outside your
  comfort zone and take the client with you. Engage
  him with the lens of your camera.

The photo should be still, but it must feel like
it is screaming a thousand words. The observer
must feel a relationship with the person in the
portrait. And to achieve all this, you have to
think out of the box.Check this link for more
