Before 2024 comes to a close, the team at Viewfinder Mastery would like to celebrate some creative high points of 2024. 🎉
As part of our monthly photo challenge process at Viewfinder Mastery, Jesse and Matt select one member's image as the so-called "Shot of the Month". 📸
This is the shot which they feel best embodies the spirit of the photo challenge that the group worked on together that month. It's not always the most technically perfect photo. It's chosen mainly on creative merit and shows a willingness to embrace the challenge and take a risk in the name of discovery and self–improvement. 🎯
Congratulations to everyone who practiced their photography with us in 2024! We can't wait to see where next year's member challenges take our vibrant, creative photography community! 🙌

Embarking on the portrait photography journey can be both exciting and rewarding. Start by familiarizing yourself with the basic equipment you'll need, such as a camera with a good quality lens. While a DSLR or mirrorless camera is ideal, many modern smartphones also have excellent cameras that can be used to practice.
When it comes to posing your subject, communication is key. Make them feel comfortable and encouraged, as this will translate into more natural and authentic portraits. Start with simple poses and guide them gently. You can suggest they tilt their head slightly, or turn their body at a slight angle to the camera for a more dynamic look. Encourage them to play with their hands, perhaps placing one in a pocket or gently touching their face or hair.
Pay attention to their eyes, as they are the focal point of any portrait. Ask your subject to look directly into the lens for a strong connection with the viewer, or have them gaze off-camera for a more candid feel. Encourage genuine expressions by engaging in conversation or making them laugh.
Practice is crucial, so shoot as often as you can. Analyze your photographs afterward to see what works and what doesn't, and don't hesitate to seek feedback from more experienced photographers.
