How to create good harmony on set and shoot impactful portraits?

In this guide you will find some of the least discussed topics concerning portrait photography. Its pages are meant to help you study photography and delve into aspects that are almost never covered in photography courses and classes. Don’t expect anything technical, rather lots of tips covering interactions between photographer and subject, quick and intuitive image composition, some important aspects to pay attention to in composition (these are not the rules of composition), and other tips on how to make impactful portraits.
