However, you do not require expensive studio equipment in order to take lovely and high quality portrait photographs as digital cameras are quite capable of taking great photographs.
Before you begin your photo shoot Manchester find a suitable room, an extra or empty room and clear an area to be used as a portrait photography studio.
Depending on the placement of the room you will have to see what sort of lighting is required. Try to get maximum natural light through windows and if there are no windows, a couple of house lamps will be enough.
Next order of business is to your background. What sort of background do you want for your portraits? Professional and amateur photographers depend on a backdrop cloth made of either muslin or canvas which can be bought at professional photography equipment stores or online.
You should have a space of ten feet in minimum between your photography subject and the photographer, so make sure you have considered this when choosing a location for the studio. This is the perfect distance to take your photography subjects into scale as most subjects would want a three quarter way pose for their portrait.
When arranging your subjects for a photo you should go by this simple rule of thumb, tallest further away from you, shortest closer to you.
Wait until everyone has posed before you shoot and take a couple of shots, not just one.
