The eyes are the window to the soul - tips for good Photography

Time for the weekly tip and this one is about the importance of eyes in a portrait. If nothing else is in focus make sure the eyes are, most cameras have autofocus so make sure when reviewing a picture in the screen on the back that the eyes are crystal clear. The eyes on this young dancer are stunning.

I almost always use a flash outside and one reason is to make sure there is an 'eye light', this is that sparkle that we see in moist eyes. One more thing, get in close, it almost always improves the image and we can see the detail in the eye which again brings them to life. Again most modern quality cameras will allow you to get closer to people to bring out their character.

I hope this proved helpful. Very happy shooting!
