Portrait Photography - One of the toughest Photography modes

Personally I feel Portrait photography is very tough if you don't possess an expensive camera and those top-notch photography skills. But yes its not impossible, since nothing is :p
Let me prove by example with my 4 portraits from my normal life clicked with my normal Iphone7 camera.

Portrait 1 of my friend Dhwani on her wedding day

This is my friend Dhwani. I clicked this picture of her on her wedding day while she waiting for the groom to come, I was just sititng by her side and pulled this pretty shot by chance. :)


Portrait 2 of an old man I saw in a vilage

Outside a temple in a village named Beri, I saw this man playing his instrument and collecting money, I was just walking by and my father stopped to listen to his music which gave me a chance to focus on the man and pull this shot.


Portrait 3 of an old man sitting outside a teashop

On one of my travels, I saw this old man sitting quietly and sipping his tea. I asked him if I can click his picture and he was way more than happy and started smiling for the picture, but I think the one without the smile turned out better.


Portrait 4 of a street cat

How cute is this one? Just a cat sitting in glory, posing for my camera. Although I feel pixel composure could have been better since I clicked it from a distance.

I remember the first picture. By the way, what is happening to your @thatindianlady account? I have read your introduction and assuming that you can do recovery. Did you sell the account or was it stolen?

That account does not belong to me anymore. Initially it got into trouble i pasted key in post prmotion by mistake. Later on after recovery i transfered the ownership. Now i am all here, indianlady has another owner.

I am glad you remember, someone remembers me made my day :)

Ah I see! I remember because I was writing a story based on that picture. I think it was a creative writing competition on steemit.

oh yes oh yes i remember that, glad to find you back :)

These shots are very cool, @vibesforlife! Excellent job! Good luck for the contest. 😊

thanks Trin, you are a very active user that inspires me :)


I like this B&W photos ... And like you see phone can also make very cool photos. I have all time said when someone ask, phone is good for street photography it is always with you and doesn't take up much space. And if you're a creative person you will always get something interesting.


Rightly said my friend :)

You are welcome :)

Incredible shots! The bridal photo is quite interesting, there is quite a lot of ornamentation that goes into dressing for the wedding! However, I must say, I LOVE the cat!
