Location Portraiture- Techniques Pages

When photographing on location, aspects such as zoom and aperture should be considered in order to add some diversity to the images. Zooming less allows for more visual information to be stored within the frame while zooming in compresses the focal length, making the background of the image much more tight. The aperture can be set to the lowest f number in order to create the depth of field which can cause backgrounds to become interesting and your subject can stick out more from the image as a result. Depending on lighting within the environment, the ISO can be adjusted or a flash can be used in order ti ensure a crisp image.
