How can you capture movement in a still frame? Photography inherently captures a single moment frozen in time, so portraying a range of expressions and emotions might seem impossible. However, with the right technical know-how, photographers can capture dynamic movement within a shot, resulting in a highly creative and artistic photo.

When we think of portrait photography, it often brings to mind a posed model set against a perfect backdrop. Shot either in a studio with high-end lighting equipment capturing each carefully planned pose or outdoors, where the model strikes graceful poses on a beach or in a park. However, portrait photography spans a range of styles, and one unique approach has little to do with posing: casual portrait photography. This style captures the model in a natural, unposed state, testing the photographer’s timing and ability to capture genuine moments.
