My Most Common Portrait Mistake - Digital Photography School: Even the best photographers I know make a mistake now and then. And usually, we all have one we can’t get seem to stop making. For me, it’s a different mistake for each type of photography, whether it’s a portrait, a landscape, or some other type of photography. The secret to getting better as a photographer is overcoming these mistakes and to stop making them.
When shooting portraits, my biggest problem isn’t lighting, or posing. My problem is with my own settings, especially when using my favorite portrait lens.
