How Amateur Photography Can Ruin a Portrait



Here are a few common ways amateur photography can ruin a portrait session:

  1. Poor Lighting: Poor lighting is one of the most significant issues with amateur photography. Poorly lit portraits can be too dark or bright or have harsh shadows that distract from the subject. Poor lighting makes the subject look unnatural and detracts from the overall impact of the image.

  2. Incorrect Focus: Incorrect focus is another issue that can ruin a portrait. A blurry subject is the surest sign of an amateur photographer, and it can make an otherwise good picture look unprofessional and unappealing.

  3. Poor Composition: Poor composition can ruin a portrait by making the subject look awkward or disconnected from the background. A good composition guides the eye to the subject and creates a sense of balance and harmony in the image.

  4. Inconsistent Color: Inconsistent color is another common problem with amateur photography. Poorly balanced or poorly executed color correction can make an image look flat, washed out, or unnatural.

  5. Technical Errors: Technical errors like camera shake, overexposure, or underexposure can also ruin a portrait. These errors can make an image look blurry, noisy, or unappealing.

In short, amateur photography can ruin a portrait by creating images that are out of focus, poorly composed, have inconsistent color, and have technical errors. Working with a professional photographer with the experience and expertise to create beautiful, impactful, and memorable images are essential to avoid these issues.
