Guardian Photographer, Eammonn McCabe gives a lesson on shooting the perfect portrait, Jane Bown style (in honor of Bown's November exhibition at Kings Place).
Click here to watch the video, describing how to make sure you:
- Get the background right
- Make sure you have good light in the eyes
- Think about hands, do you need them?
- Create a relaxed atmosphere
- Try uprights as well as landscapes
- Try different lenses
- Think about black and white
- Watch the light
- AND FINALLY... never admit you don't know what you're doing!
