Facial expressions and gestures are important components of the psychological portrait of any person. In psychology, a lot of techniques have been developed, using which you can learn more about a person's character and his psychological state, analyzing his facial expressions and gestures. If you are a beginner photographer, it will not be superfluous for you to know how to use this knowledge when creating an image.

Instructions
Step 1
Study the history of painting. Analyze portraits made by masters in different eras. Notice how broadly the definition of portrait itself is understood. If you are asked to take a photo portrait, this does not mean that you should limit yourself to photographing the face itself. A portrait is a genre in painting or photography that captures a person. A portrait is not only a close-up image of a face. A shot where a person is depicted in full growth is also a portrait. This means that your task is to work during shooting not only with facial expressions, but also with the rest of the body (arms, body, legs, etc.).
Step 2
Ask the person to position their arms so that they are as comfortable as possible. If the person folds their arms over their chest or puts them behind their back, do not be alarmed. He may be feeling constrained, but he just walked into your studio. Take some pictures with this hand position. You will see that the person will calm down a little and open up. Then you no longer have to ask him to put his hands on his knees or shoulders. He will start experimenting himself.
Step 3
Create an image. Let the position of the arms, legs, rotation of the body play to create the image. It all depends on who you are shooting. If you want to create a romantic portrait, ask your model to put her hand on her chin, look a little to the side.
Step 4
If you are filming a man, it would be most appropriate to ask him to keep his hands on his lap, or he can keep one hand on his belt. He can sit or stand. Make sure that this position of the hands is comfortable for him and looks natural.
Step 5
Invite young models to use makeup or henna to create an image. To do this, invite an artist to shoot. Many girls like to put henna drawings on their hands. It looks very elegant. Pair such beautifully decorated hands with the look you are trying to create. Perhaps the girl wants to try on an oriental outfit or bring her hand to her eyes so that the drawing can be seen.
Step 6
If you are photographing an old person, first discuss what kind of portrait he wants to get. This is especially important if you are filming an older woman. They say that the hands of women give out age. This is indeed the case. Therefore, be guided by the situation. Your task is to make a portrait that the lady who comes to you will be satisfied. Do not deprive her of that pleasure. Choose a hand and body position that will highlight her dignity.
