What"s your pursuing thing in your life? super-star, rare treasures or typical heirloom. Most people are striving for a better life, but I am a freak who likes wristwatch more than women.
The first thing you need to do when photography a person or portrait, is to get to know your subject. Talk to them - ask then questions about themselves. This will not only help you get to know them, but it"ll also make them feel more comfortable. The more comfortable both of you are with each other the easier it"ll be to pose them for their portrait.
