3 tips that help to create strong visual connection
A portrait that connects evokes emotion, tells a story, allows the viewer to FEEL something about the person photographed. Connection is a crucial part for any photograph -whether it is a business headshot, branding portrait or personal beauty session.
Here are 3 tips that help to create strong visual connection:
Let the eyes speak
Eyes are the bridge between the soul and the image. Eye contact is energy. Look in the lens and imagine you are talking to a person who truly matters to you.
2. Be present
When your thoughts drift away, your gaze follows and the camera sees it. Bring your focus to the present moment and let the emotion fill your eyes- whether it is warmth, confidence, calm… Visualize situation or the person who can revoke such emotion.
3. Create environment of trust
Choose a photographer who makes you feel at ease and who can connect with you and capture moments of authenticity.
