Have you ever wondered how photographers achieve such crisp, clear portraits where the textures and details of the model’s skin look incredible, and the image exudes a professional aesthetic? This level of quality can be what sets a professional portrait apart from a hobbyist’s work.

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.

Finding your unique style is one of the most challenging aspects of any art form, and yet it’s essential. A distinct style not only makes your work recognisable but also helps it stand out in a crowded field. When your style becomes identifiable, it can attract clients and brands who seek out your specific look as it’s something they can’t get elsewhere.
