Make Beautiful Christmas Portraits
Christmas is coming and many people love to do family and individual Christmas portraits or even inspirational Christmas photos. For that reason I decided to take my own Christmas pictures and share these ideas along with the equipment and settings I used to shoot them so maybe you will feel inspired to take your own Christmas photos as well.
I basically used two different sets for the shots below. All of them with the decoration I actually did to my house.
When I set up a decoration I usually already imagine how that composition would look in a photo and if it looks good in my mind, usually it’s a great start.
If you have no clue what composition is or how that works, I have an entire video only talking about that with several simple tips that should definitely help you to take even better Christmas photos.
Equipment used for the photos:
