I have been shooting weddings, events and many other portraits for years. Just curious... how do you focus your subject?
There are a few ways and different photographer told me different techniques. All of us know that we have to keep their eyes focus, not the nose, ears, forehead, etc...
So how do you focus. there are 3 ways which i heard of.
1) using centre focus - focus the eyes from where you are, pan with your camera to cover subject into the frame and shoot.
2) using other focus point - focus technique is the same as above but the focus point is nearest to the eyes.
3) using centre focus - focus the eyes, moving your body to fit the subject into the frame while keeping the camera in position. (very tiring to do this)
which method do you use?
any other methods to recommend us?
are there any correct technique to take a portrait?
