Do You NEED Eye Contact in Your Portraits? | Tutorial Tuesday
Ойын-сауық
The eyes are absolutely one of the most important things when it comes to portrait photography, but what about eye contact? Should your subject be looking down the lens or is there a benefit to having them focus their eyes somewhere else? Let's talk about how it can affect the narrative and the story of the photo and all the different ways eye contact or lack of it can help you capture the right photo for you.

I do a,lot of Candids/portraits down the pub on my nights off. Some of the best shots are actually people looking away. I do believe it depends on the photo/subject/feel as you mention, but a few stand out shots are of people looking away
Good video , I've found especially in groups of people where they know your around to take photos that after having taken numerous shots & letting them relax then stand back with a suitable zoom & capture them again can result in a good mixture of eye and non eye pics, not always successful but generally so.
Interesting and helpful, thanks.
informative video thanks Park Cameras.
With youtube using selfie screens I think people are used to models not directly looking into the lens...
