This is how to take good pictures of people. The first rule you should follow is the rule of thirds. When you are taking pictures of people, don’t place their face in the middle of the frame unless you have a very good reason to do so. This is typically an amateur mistake that photographers make. Portrait photos look best when the subject is on the left third or the right third. If the person’s face is close to the camera then it makes sense to place their face in the middle.
If you really want to take good pictures of people then make sure there are no distractions, like a tree, immediately behind your subject’s head.
Lighting is so important. Make sure your subject’s face is correctly lit from the front or side.

My sister sent me here
Great tips, especially the reminder to consider the background and not just the subject. I'm definitely going to be more mindful of composition in my future photos.
This was incredibly helpful! It's great to have these simple rules explained so clearly, and I appreciate the examples of when and why you might break them. Definitely subscribing!
I am here for my bf🥱
You watch YouTube on how to take a good pic of ur friends on the other side, ur friend takes a pic of ur face however they want without hesitation neglecting ur satisfaction lmao
Or….I often place the subject in the center and reserve the placement option when cropping.
Very instructive
Interesting.
This is how you do the commercial! Thanks for your work!
What a video!
You have a newer video about the importance of backlighting!
Informative.
"your viewer's eye will leave the photo and never come back" that's dangerous
Finally someone explaining the application of the rule of thirds, not just saying "use the rule of thirds!"
I hate selfies. I stop people from taking them and get someone else to take it for us
If photography is a hobby, then it shouldn’t have rules. You know the saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”? Apply that to photography. No matter how good your photo is, there is always someone who doesn’t like it.
Thank you very much so much for this video. Very instructive.
highlights (using sponsoblock) is on point

Sending this to my parents lol
That guy casually delivered the most excellent "customers journey" I ever saw.
He smashes our face telling we have a problem, he shows the solution, teaches it, gives us a feeling of "we need more of this knowledge", them he became a authority in the topic since he explained well and revealed his career, and gives us the solution to every problem with photos we had in his hands, throughout his book, which we believed he is capable of throughout the journey.
You not only a goddamn great photographer, that was 200 IQ Marketing move right there.
