Composing a portrait photograph is about putting in place the building blocks of a picture within the frame of the camera. It involves decisions on where to place your main subject, what other elements you are going to include or exclude and how they will relate to the subject in a way that will enhance it. Light, colour, movement and technical considerations, such as depth of field and lens focal length, also play a part.
Sometimes it is a quick and intuitive process, at other times it must be considered at length, but it is always highly subjective. By experimenting and studying my own pictures and those of others, I can work out my preferences and develop a personal style.
