* Stop being a gear head. Equipment is not everything.
• Stop your bokeh hunting. Having bokeh does not mean your portrait is good.
• Learn your photography fundamentals first followed by complete understanding of your camera. Know what your camera will do under different situations.
• Learn your portrait basics, i.e. What is framing, angle, composition and tilt and how you can use them to take portraits?
• When you got hold of these fundamentals, you can then move on to the intermediate level of enhancing your portraits with lightings. What is available light? What is the relationship between incident light vs reflected light? How to create light using flashes?
• You also have to get knowledge of how to pose your model, how to communicate with your model, effective poses, etc.
• When you are good with all these, then you move to the advanced level of creative techniques where you will need to think about lightings, styling, themes, make-up, wardrobe, location, logistics and most importantly resources!
